My goal average 400-600 hp for streetable/ strip for my project 1992 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck. I will probably want run small nitrous in future who knows.

I would honestly go with scat over the eagle. I would also go with a I beam rod over a H. H beams tend to weight a little more, have in alot of cases a lower HP max rating. I would also not run the Mahle pistons, but thats just me. I have seen eagle stuff hold big power, infact is what alot of builders use for there production engines, but also eagle is a lot of times sized on the big side. None the less Scat over eagle IMO.

I have the Compstar rods. If those are your HP goals, why not just use stock rods? There are guys making that HP level that have ran for years.
