we have seen users here post up 600-800whp power on eagle rods with no problems.

if you are breaking connecting rods of any kind you doing something wrong (ecu tune), installed them wrong or used the wrong rod for the type of application.

thats what happens when you don't filter things on the interweb. Its all on how it was assembled. As others have said, more power than you can possibly afford will work on eagles.

It is not bost it is the rpm that makes the big end out of round.. Eagles are soft.. I have had a b16 making 10500rpm jut a few times and eagles did not like it and destroyed the engine.. I would not recomend eagles..

I went with eagles because almost every build I found on the web where built on eagles. I believe on their site they say 900hp and like stated above its not boost its power. So if you are running less than 900hp, engine built properly, and don't want to rev to the moon you will be fine.


You can look up Bars of pure gold on the Internet and find people complaining about it.
