Eagles or Tuner Toys?
Besides price, what is the main difference between the two?
I believe both come with ARP8740 rod bolts (I know the TT ones do, but I don't know about the Eagle), and I believe both have an RPM limit of roughly 7-8k. I've heard of people spinning the Eagles to about 9, but if they use the same hardware, what's the problem with spinning the TT ones a bit higher? I'm swapping in an LSVTEC with either GSR or ITR cams, and just want the added safety of being able to rev it. Thanks.

^ yup. when Ching Chong mee yow gets done with her 12 hour shift making rods she punches out and then punches in and cranks up the tig and starts making IC's for CCA for another 12 hours. She then gets a 5 minute breaks and then goes to work for XSPower. China must have alot of turbo'd cars with forged internals.
i'd like to know before i buy a set and my motor eats itself

Re: Eagles or Tuner Toys?
eagles now come with arp2k rod bolts. the TT rods use the same style bolts the eagles USED to use (still better than stock rod bolts). i happen to know that Tbone on HT spins the ---- out of his OLD style eagle rods on his NA ITB motor and has used them for a long time.
point being im sure they are both good, ones an established name one is working on it.

I have never heard of a "7-8K" limit.. I have spun Eagle rods well over 10K and have had no problems. That was of course with the arp2000 bolts.. I dont know anything about the 8740's..
