notice that i said "i believe", as i'm i'm not positive, but i think so and most eagles come with the 7/16 bolt, they just have a 3/8 head on them, and trust me, they're not the same as the actual 3/8 bolt. ealge tq specs for the 7/16 bolt is 40ft/lbs and the 3/8 bolt is 75ft/lbs, so i'm sure their 3/8 bolt is MUCH stronger than the 7/16 bolt. btw, those bolts alone are over 80 dollars for eight of them, so the actual price of rods is cheap if you don't need the bolts

7/16th" is larger than 3/8th". 7/16" = .4375", 3/8" = .375" so your telling me a 7/16 bolt has a 3/8th head on it? no one lists bolt size by the head they list it by the size of the fastener itself since thats the only thing that matters. think about this one, really.

and the rod bolts in the eagles still are better

lol, it was 6:15am when i replied to that, that's what i meant. but the whole point of the story is yes, the arp 200 bolts are better, and i 'thought' that's what came in the tuner toys rods.

ya, as i herd from a guy that knows his ----, wiescos have a closer to stock ringland position, so they dont ware donw the cylender walls as fast, and create less friction. id deff go with wiesco pistons like 9-1-1 or 9-5-1, and some tuner toys rods, there rods are made for 600-700hp, dont think ur gona go over that or hit it lol. maybe invest in doing the block filling thing too, in the hybrid forum theres a sticky about it, makes the sleves alot stronger so they dont crack when boosting with forged internals, works great... its a good investment, im getting eagle rods, since there cheap from a friend, wiesco pistons and flling my gsr block, so ill see how that turns out. -blake
