Do eagle rods have a power limit?? Ya know like a stock block is good to 700ish HP. I ended up with the Eagles and now have second thoughts,,,

My buddy went with Oliver on the last 2 builds, He never had a Eagle rod problem but he wanted to up grade , he now has a nice display of a couple busted Oliver rods on his desk now.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

If it were me, I'd get some better rods in that hemi! A big ole heavy hemi piston making a lot of power w/ a blower on top...that's not something I'd even consider using an Eagle rod in.

That's the first time that I have ever heard of a eagle Rod being better than an Oliver rod. If You're busting them, then that's one bad ass motor!!

Everytime I hear the name Oliver I go back to the Silvaliant thread where he found the pin bores were crooked in his 501" small block. For a high dollar rod I don't feel that was acceptable thing to discover.

All of my Oliver rods came with torque to yield specs and bolt stretch specs, for all the different Rod bolts they use 👍
