    We run Eagle rods in a friends honda.

    10500 RPM's, 690 WHP :) They will take a lot of abuse with the bigger rod bolts.

    I had a set of Carrillo's in a turbo SBF at over 1900 HP for 4 seasons. That was with the heavy speedway caps and the CARR bolt option. Made a change in that combo, smaller crankshaft, and switched to GRP billet aluminum rods. I use Carillo's for steel applications and GRP for aluminum. BME makes a really good aluminum rod as well.
