Highest HP on Eagle's?

i have run eagles in some of my V-8's and never had a problem. even on long stroke high rpm motors. the weights were all really close too, which shows abit of good workmanship in the forgings.

EXACTLY! What you are missing is now how much POWER they can handle, they can ALL handle way more power than most people on this forum can afford or will ever produce (800 whp takes big bucks ) What kills a rod is the RPMs, so I will let you all know what happens when i take my 600whp beast to 8K rpms every weekend with the Eagle rods i purchased. As soon as this head lifing problem gets figured out we should be good to go.
