well , we did not make the power jojo was making, and kicked a rod thru thru the block with a little over 600 to the wheels. Eagle is a great na rod, as far as high hp boosted rod, I would buy crower, pauter, carillo. Jason

this has been beaten to death. If you plan on making more then 500whp, don't risk it with the eagles.

Dont miss a gear, or have any other misshap with them, I know of 3 others that have lost motors to eagles. One racer lost his doing a burnout, he was pushhing 720 to the wheels, I will leave it up to him if he wants to make it public.
For me the extra 300 bucks lets me sleep easier at night. Jason

I have seen 200whp send eagles thru the block too. not only do they not handle high hp but they dont like to be revved either. No way jojo is running them either. Eagle probably gives him a good deal on pauters

Jojo DOES run Eagles... He called to brag that they held up to 740+ at the wheels on the dyno 6 months ago while I was standing at Alan at Eagle's desk!

Gotta love local shops.
