high 300, low 400.
8k RPM
2L B18B

Eagle rods for over a year.

I think flamenco-T has the same setup too but B18C and a little longer than I have had mine. His even survived theft by a crazy ricer.

they were purchased about 2 years ago. I do not think they have the upgraded rod bolts. Been revving to 10K every weekend too.

6000miles on 15psi no problem. I’m putting new barring in right now because my oil pump blow up and I'm a little worried about torqueing the bolts down this will be the 3rd time do i need to over torque them a little bit or use the same torque spec.

Even started with no oil. A guy from eagle posted one time on here that out of 900 rods sold last year, only 4 failures. And that was due to over or under tightening. Sometimes the internet can blow things out of proportion.

Only about 5k at 8psi but no problems. Everyone just jumped on the hate eagle bandwagon.
