HKE in Houston, built the fastest LS1 and LT1 in the WORLD... both with eagle crank and rods. Not to mention David Wolfe fastest Drag Radial car in the world, Eagle internals also.

 

speaking of arguements about the most useless posts on the internet ever


oh and i read it on the internet it must be true.

 

I don't think it is a question of the strenght of eagle products, I personally ran eagle h beam rods for about 30,000 high boost supercharged miles without any problems. I think the eagle products require more machine work to get them into specs. An eagle crank will hold up to whatever you throw at it, thier products just require a little more work by the machine shop to balance the rotating assembly.

 

ive never heard anything bad about eagle products anyway, so until i do im not gona talk about them, just my opinion, im probably gona end up with an eagle crank or either callies, i think both brands are good

 

Hey Derek, don't you run into issues when milling the 317's too much? I can't find the thread from what I'm referring to. Anyways, sounds like a good build and don't be afraid to use Eagle's products either.

 

+1, bad information. Just because you (black-ss) don't run Eagle products doesn't give you the right to bash them. A ton of guys use Eagle internals and they have no higher failure rate then any other company out there.

 

lol, I love this forum especially when someone is getting owned....

 

Yep, you can run into issues.
You can easily mill them 30 thousandths without running into any issues.

around .007 milled = 1cc

One cc should change your compression ratio around .9 of a point in compression.

 

I am building a 1000HP 408 using Eagle internals (crank and H beams). I didn't think twice about using them. All IMHO of course
