i was wondering at what whp do eagle rods start losing reliability with a good tune,and at what rpm are they safe to take to?im deciding between eagle or pauter rods but i can get 2 sets of eagle rods for the price of one set of pauters,damn.

 

eagles are great, i make 515whp on them. I know a guy right now making 640whp on them. They are just as good as all of the others in my serious opinion.

 

how long have your eagles lasted and at what hp,anyone welcomed to input.

 

I had so called "beagles" in my setup for about 8 months daily beaten but taken care of and put down 339 heat soaked. I love eagles excellent price, definetly worth the money and its all about the installation.

 

i have eagle rods in my 500hp motor they are good rods. i will be change them for the 2006 racing season because i just want piece of mind when i start putting alot more power down, im goin to go with manleys

 

I made 604whp on Eagles been that way for just about a year now. If I could go back and change one thing in my setup i'd throw in Crower's or Carillo's. Other than that never had any issues.

 

I personly made over 550whp on eagles been together alittle over a year. But i know a few friends making 700+ on eagles.

 

ive had my 500 plus for 6 months and had 400+ for about 3 or 4 months before that, and this is a daily driven, beat the **** out of, hauled to the track for events all the time car. all these people are saying they are going to switch for a false piece of mind.

 

im only planning on running 380-420whp on a built h22 i was looking at some pauters but the price is a killer.you guys think that the eagles will hold up good to that power level taking it to about 8000 rpm. its a daily driver so im looking to get some reliability,380whp is gona be on hi boost low boost is gona be about 280-290whp.thanks guys

 

anyone

 

You should be fine with an Eagle. If you ask Eagle customer service, they will tell you they are good for 900hp, haha, yeah right.

 

500whp for 3yrs spinning to 9800, and it wasnt the rods that gave out.

 

What gave out on ya Jared?

Been there done that! SUX!!!

 

Not that bad. things could of been worse.

 

We had eagle tell us the B series were good to 1000hp , had customers a rod bolt(weak bolt, really it was a bad bolt) break at 34 lbs and 10K rpms. If you want more than 500hp spend the money on the pauters

 

My car hit 32 or 34psi on the dyno when the boost spiked. But then again didn't get to see 10k

 

We didn't plan on taking the car that high, damn thing just kept on making power. I wanted to stop at 9K and 28 lbs. Its the customers car not mine. it'll be fixed and then maybe i can show some dyno sheets :0

 

615 on my H22 with eagle rods.... had it for about 1 year now and have been spinning them up to 9500

 

i talked to one of the guys down here in tampa he said with a good tune i would only take them to about 350whp on a daily driver and he said dont rev them past 9000 rpm,im going with the pauters because later on down the road i might wanna turn up the boost with some race gas i just wana sleep good at night.thanks for all ur replies

 

that guy down in tampa is a moron, but going with pauters is a good investment

 

For 90% of the people on this board, Eagles are pretty much indestructible. A bolt will fail before the rod will fold. (provided the tune is good)

I have seen them take almost 700 whp.

 

What size rod bolts came with your eagle rods?

 

Eagle rods

We have hundreds of customers running them. No complaints. The rods currently come with ARP 2000 3/8" rod bolts.
