Re: rods
I just had an Eagal rod and Oliver rod in hand and was looking at them...it is clear the oliver was stronger with more material. However, they weresn't syty rods, but SBC.
The olivers are nice, but twice the cost...I don't think they are neccessary unless you are going over 700hp

Re: rods
The Eagle rods are rated at about 700 hp for the v8. That's about 525 hp for a v6. I am probably over that limit and never had any issues. The more concerning issue is the bolts. Unless we have hard detonation the powerstroke can handle most everything we can throw at it. It's the turn at the top and the pull of the crank that can screw with the bolts.
