False info...it really depends on how its built...if built correctly, the H beams can hold up to 600hp! Just make sure you torque the ARPs up to proper specs and use the proper moly. You can even buy stronger ARP bolts for the Eagle rods...I am only boosting 12psi's due to other limitations in my setup...but once I get past htat barrier, I will be doing about 15psi (not daily though)

My motor made 450whp on eagle rods, stock off the shelf with the smaller rod bolts. I wouldn't trust them anything over 500whp. Paul

I am going against everyone so it seems 
.. I run crower cams and eagle rods in my motor.. The rods have been in since day1 of my boosting career and I have never had a problem with them. The cams are a different story, but I will give crower the benifit of the doubt and am currently trying their 2nd gen of cams.. currently with absolutely no problems.
