Default Eagle Rods

Thinking about using Eagle rods in my new motor, is anyone running eagle rods? and if so what kind of power are you putting out?

Are you talking about H beams or I-beams? H-beams supposedly are good to 750-850. I-beams are 500-600 from what I've seen. Some people are using them in higher-performance applications, but I have always run H-beams in all of my motors, including my 700 hp 464ci NA pontiac, and it's got a 4.21 stroke and revs 7+ grand, hasn't come apart yet, knock on wood. =)

They are H beams, Im wanting 600 crank hp plus a healthy shot of laughing gas,
I just dont want to be going thru this process until I decide to change setups, not forced to.

Yeah, just buy the H-beams, they should be more than enough for that. Just make sure you have everything balanced and run some good main cap bolts/studs with a big shot of NOS. Better safe than sorry.
