Default Best Rod ?

I am going nuts picking out a set of rods for my B16 that will be Darton Sleeved and more. What is the best rod for over 350 HP ?

For up to 500 HP, Eagle ( big bolt ), Crower, Manley, Pauter, Cunningham, Carrillo and a few others are all great! You'll have no problem with any of these if you only shooting for something below 500

They are not Golden Eagles. Golden Eagle Mfg and Eagle Rods are two completely different companies.

The Eagle rods I have personally used past 700 HP without any issues!
I also like Crower and the rest!

I made 700 WHP with eagle rods with no problems. But I was told by Eagle that their rods where rated for 750HP flywheel so I switched to Manley that are good for around 1000 HP

if you are only going to be looking for 350hp you dont really need the best most expensive rod.. the eagles are nice and cheap arent they?
