pete it is well worth it investment. get it check out eaglerod.com for the part number on the customer age 625+ bolts

Re: Eagle Rod Help Quick (itr206)
 

The standard rods with the 2000 bolts are good to about 600-650 wheel HP. They are a great street-application rod. The upgraded bolt-equipped rods are good to about 1200 flywheel HP. There is no problem using them in a street motor - they're just overkilkl for 90% of the people out there.

The part number for the upgraded rods are: CRS5430A3DCA (for B18C).

i called Eagle and asked thme , tey said the reason why these fail is becuase people over tq them , they said they dont reccmend he upgraded ones until 700+ hp, he even double check ed with other techs with me on the line . He said he wouldnt tell me that unless he was comfy with it, becuase id be bitching at hiom when they break

anyone else running the stadnard ones?

I agree I think most people on here that have had problems with them. It has not been the rods, but installer error. Many people on here will vouch for Eagle rods.

How much are the upgraded bolts? I've got the Arp 2000s now, these are the regular ones right?

I thought a lot of the people that actually had problems with the rod bolts were having problems at really high rpms like in the 10k range. It was not so much a hp problem but the mass of the the piston and rod at that speed breaking the bolts.
