Really don't wanna come off as the "Eagle rods suck" Guy... cuz they don't. But there are better. Just because a rod comes with a dimensions and tolerance sheet doesn't mean anything, really. If you were gonna have your engine balanced, the machine shop would need to cut down the rods anyway, and same with blueprinting.
Anyway. I was just saying what my shop told me, "to get the best". Even stock rods are great rods up untill 350hp... mabey more. So any forged rod is gonna be good well past that. But Chris May (438hp) - Crower rods. PSI240sx (391hp+) - Carrillo(?) rods. Boosted (~400hp)- Crower rods. Duy (with the stupid-fast 240sx) was using one of those two, also. I just can't find the page that I read that on. And Duy was at 600+hp!
