idk why people are so uneasy about eagles, i have never heard of one failing from too much hp. i have also seen plenty of builds in the 700-900 hp range with eagles. are there better rods out there? yes 100% carillo... manley turbo tuffs.
I've lost a engine using eagle but it weren't the rods that failed @640whp, it was the ARP2000 bolts. But can't blame the bolts entirely, I torqued the bolts 4 times 1st torque to check clearances, 2nd torque final torque, ended up chewing up bearings due to FO in oil, 3rd torque to check new bearings, 4th torque final torque, Tuned to 640whp, when to a race weekend ran a decent time on street tires, drove home raced on the Autobahn whooped some asses at some high speeds, final race engine lost power and stalled, pulled over checked the engine, no leaks no damage, tried to restart the car, threw a rod through the block. bolt snapped cleaned across the cap. I upgraded to Manley turbo tuff, then later Pauter to 662whp on same turbo, I just tore apart my engine to cut o-rings and rebuild for over 900hp, so because of past experience of reusing bolts I upgraded to ARP625 bolts, to be safe I will use the old bolt for checking bearing clearances, and use the new ones for the final torque.
i have the bwr 5th gear cuff in my trans, absolutely no problems installing or driving. its just some billet aluminum with 2 bearings, same as the rest in my opinion
ya cant go wrong with a victor x. its proven. my car is at 600whp right now on an itr manifold lol. next year hoping run low 9s like you w/ about 800whp. i have a skunk 2 ultra street that has shortened runners and an extended plenum that i cant wait to throw on!

can a 4.4fd handle 150mph in the 1/4 mile? Hoping to run 9's like you guys
my build guidence buddy said yes gsr trans with 24,5 revs to about 9300 to do 155mph, b16 revs to about 10200. to do same mph. he advised i have rev limit set to 10k on the eagles and make sure to not hit it or a rods will most likly break.

jaywizz if you got a gsr head you looking to sell your intake if not all good think i got one lined up for 220
King was referring to my car and yes that was on my Victor X, which is for sale. I just picked up the 8 injector Edelbrock manifold. They are good dang manifolds.
