I am trying to decide between the 2 and they are competitivly priced...I know the eagle vs econo battle has been done but has anyone compared the new eagles to the econos? anyway let me know what you would go with and personal experiences if you can

 

they are brand new.

 

the 900 hp eagles are the ones with the upgraded arp bolts

they've held up in a race car so thats where they claim their 900 hp.

 

hrmm beats me

 

i think it's the one that they claimed jo jo callos ran or something.

those are the ones...so which ones should I buy

 

Eagle Rods are starting to faze out the 5/16 bolt rods at the begining of this year. The new rods will offer a 3/8 bolt ARP 2000 bolt.
The bolt upgrade previous was the Custom Age bolt. Which for Dseries is no longer produced by Eagle. Since they are all now produced with the 3/8 bolt. You can tell if you have the upgraded bolt if the sides of the rod big end is machined. Call Eagle they can verify this info. So some D series guys you might lucky when ordering the regular rods and get the upgraded ARP bolt.

 

Bad ***. The only thing keeping me from buying those rods was the rod bolts. Good move eagle.

 

This info is only accurate for Dseries. But I don't know why they wouldn't do it for B series from the way Eagle sounded D series would be the first.

 

so are the eagles with the 3/8 bolts better than the econos?

 

The Eagle 5/16" 600HP bolt rods comparable to the Crower econo rods. The Eagle 3/8" bolt 900HP rods are comparable to the Crower standard I-beam rods.

 

That must be one bad *** rod bolt

 

Going by what I've seen what each set of rods supports.
