side by side, they can run with anybody. Just no one uses them. They make an "econo" series now too, for the more budget concious.
Nobody uses Oliver either

yeha i was going to run Oliver, Pauter, or Carillo. I've looked at the Oliver and Pauter and i have a friends thats got a set of Pauters and he likes them. I wanted to run Oliver rods but someone told me not too, and run the Carillo rods. He said there one of the best rods out on the market. Thats why Eagle copied its style. Dont know why he said that after reading some of the eagle posts here. Im scared of those Eagle rods. So im down to those 3rods right there. I havent deicde yet but one of those i'll be running. Thanks

You hear good things about all those rods in differnts types of racing. I run Eagle with no problems. If it comes time for a new set of rods, I will most likely go with Pauter or Cunningham. Most likely Cunningham.

Cunningham. Good Lord.
They have been successfully making connecting rods since before dirt was invented

Look into getting some carrillos with CARR bolts. Its an added expense, but a rod bolt is a good expense. They torque to over 70 lbs
5/8 not 3/16ths
that's beefy

With the power you want to put down I would just stick with Pauter rods. They have proved to hold a massive amount of power. Perfect for your goals.
