Hi Folks,

Currently running Eagle Rods (With new bolts) in our budget build race car. Just wondering what power levels they can support. I'm at the the 515hp, 310tq range, and hoping to dial in another 10+psi from the GT4088.

Any ideas if they can support 650-700hp. I'd hate to find out the hard way...

 

do it

 

last time I checked ( 1 year ago)..... with the company.... they were rated for 600hp

 

if they're rated for 600hp, they can probably hold 800hp, but the company needs some kind of buffer....do it and let us know

someone has to push the boundaries....

 

Highest I've seen personally has been low 600's on the 3/8" style bolt. I've seen some of the old school designs go at low 300's.

Let us know how they hold up

 

i called a few months ago and talked to someone at eagle and he said with the upgraded bolts they are rated at 900hp at 9000rpm so yea

 

i personally seen jeff evans tuned a car for 762WHP .. on eagle 3/8 ..

i run eagle rods but i havent got that crazy yet.. tho i should

 

703whp shifting at 9800...

 

I need to find the thread but a guy on here made 880 or something on some eagle h beams. He is going to go back to dyno to shoot for over 900. I read it and was like thats insane.

 

i might be able to tell you what they hold in the spring....but probably not...

Stock sleeves and eagle H-beams (3/8")

 

bringing this back....
anymore 600+ whp feedback with eagles? i'm shooting for 550 on a mustang dyno with my build and need some encouragement

Was he from Utah?

 

Dang, Eagle big bolt rods hold more than the expensive Crower rods. Wasn't Earl saying before that the Crowers start to distort at 650+whp?

 

I have the small bolt eagles in my motor. I am over 500whp with them knock on wood

 

my friend jared made 512 to the wheels on the first eagles with the 5/16 bolts.

 

mat keller/brian fisher at inline made 936whp at 10K on eagle rods w/ the new bolts.

We run them on our sport fwd cars 750-800 hp....... low 10 sec street cars street driven

and our hot rod car Goldmember 900+ 8 sec pro quick car runs them too

 

As long as you run the L19 bolts on them I think something else will fail before the rods do.

 

I made 560whp shifting at 11,000 at the track

I made 620whp and 450 ft-lb torque on a Mustang Dyno, Eagle Rods in stock sleeved LS/VTEC. When I ran 10.43@139mph was on 22psi and making about 540ish whp , I had run them at 27psi too 144mph . I have revved them as high as 9700rpm so far

Mat Keller runs them in his motor and no probs at all 9.47@158mph

Don't feel like an idiot man, the Manley's will not fail you and I would still have more faith in them
