Eagles are the best bang for the buck! Forged, balanced and they already come with ARP rod bolts. Never seen one fail, & we all use 'em here in Naples (Boost or NA)!

the best rods for a circuit engine are those that are lightest and strongest...crower titaniums are the best rods available for that application. the next best is JUN rods, scm440 super connecting rod. The problem with carillo, saenz, crower, eagle, cunningham, blah, blah, they are all heavy in comparison to Ti or CM. for circuit racing, you want THE lightest rotational mass available.

The best rods are Carillo,Lentz, and Panke but the Crower and Eagle do a good job for the money.

I would go with Cunningham. Titanium if you can swing the cash.

i belive eagles are about the same weight as stock but i def agree. the lighter the better. on a boosted motor with stock redline however just go for strength.
