I don't know which rod is rated higher but I like the compstar H beams of the two. Just based on reputation.

I am rebuilding my motor for my turbo build. I am going to be running between 700-800rwhp and try to get up to 900-1000 later on. I am Keeping my stock crank (347) and want my compression ratio around 9-9.5:1 I think. I am going to be running a multi-stage boost controller and probably a quick spool valve also, so I can run no boost or 20 lbs of boost and every where in between.

I like the compstars a little better because they are usually good to go out of the box. I have seen some Eagles that needed a little work to make them ready. Other thanthat I would say they are pretty equal...
