    I HEARD EAGLE RODS ARE GARBAGE for that kind of power. But I am not looking to make that kind of power but I for sure want to over build my motor. I just want to get ever ones take on the matter and reps to all u bastards. I think I would go the Carrillo H beam route and just worry about changing the bearings every 10-14k miles

    You've got to watch eagle/scat rods. They have been known to buckle under that kind of load. A good billet rod is the way to go.
