Pretty much any aftermarket rod will do it. Stock 4th gen rods have done it and lasted a lot longer than expected.

Boost isn't what breaks parts. Your rods will have no idea how much boost is running through them. All they care about is HP/TQ.

if your engine has gen 4 rods they are a very good rod.

if your vally cover bolts have 13 mm heads and your exaust manifold bolts have 13 mm heads it will have gen 4 rods and they are just about as strong as the rest of the engine.

Ive seen scat H beam finally start to let go north of 1800fwhp. I'd imagine Eagle are similar.
