Default Crower Econo Rods($399)

I posted in this question in too different forums, but no answers. I saw Crower makes an Econo Billet rod($399 set of 4). What is the difference in construction compared to their regular billet rod($600+)? How do the Crowers compare to Eagle H beams? Thanks

I saw a add for them somewhere, Crower says they will only handle 12 psi! If I recal correctly they look like a not so pretty version of the good/expesive ones. I think Eagles would be a better choice over the Crower Econo though.

I wonder if the Crower Econo rods are just Eagles reboxed?

Yes it does happen in the business world.

Crower says they are good to 12psi. Your better off going with stock. if thats all the boost theyll handle.

Nope. Im pretty sure they'er an "I" beam design whereas Eagles are "H" beam.
