Jen williams broke an eagle rod, as did Sav.

so yeah they do break. the manley rods are STOUT...

 

how much boost was this under?

 

Manley's are the Gucci shi*t...

 

I saw in either summit or jegs,cant remember with one they had them from sale and in the little write up for them,they said they where rated for 500hp,so i guess if you push them over that rating your pushing your luck.

 

Is that why Jen Williams was smoking down the tarck yesterday?

 

i would assume so.

 

how many pounds of boost were they under?

 

yes thats why i switched back to CROWER rods .. they start to get flakey at 700hp plus .

 

so for say a daily driver eagles shouldn't present a problem, provided i don't try and push it over 600 hp?

 

Id say eagles are shakey at 600hp as well.

 

My goal is 350-400whp, so Im cool with them..hehe

 

glad i didnt buy those....

 

lol they're fine w/ me, sell them to me cheaper

 

what about the crower econo billet ones are they better than the eagles then?

 

crower econo billets are the same as eagles, afaik. eagles are just fine for any street car!

 

well let me ask you guys your opinion then. My motor is already built with the eagle rods. I'm not shouting for anything faster than a mid to low 10 sec pass, but i want to make sure these rods will hold to those passes. This is a daily driver, 12psi daily and 18psi for now at the track. Yes i know 18psi won't get me near mid to low 10's.

 

Crower rods are gonna be used in my new motor. Looking for 400 hp, but I think the injectors will be maxed and the turbo will be out of the efficiency range i think---probably more like 350 hp.

I dont need no stinkin vtec

 

The cunninghams were the **** when AEM used them, I pushed 600FWhp on those things and they lasted 3yrs on the street.

but, leaving well enough alone, Crower certainly gets the job done for them big boys sporitng 800+HP ... a few years ago I saw some custom crowers for the Supra motor handle 800hp at the RW on a Supra ... the V8 boys seeem to love Crowers too...
