ARP rod bolt question?
Looking at a set of eagle rods H beam, and I can get them upgraded with the arp2000 rod bolts or leave the arp 8740.
question is i see the rod bolts if i go with the 8740's they are rated with these rods to 700hp which is my max power goals, id like to be able to make 650whp while spinnig 6500-6800rpm.. I know ill be safe with the arp2000's but is this alright also with the 8740's at that level spining that high?
this is in a boosted motor also just incase you need to know, thats why i mentioned the hp level and rpm cause i know boost and rpms is a lot of stress on a bottom end.. just dont want to hurt something when i can easily spend 80 extra dollars and get much better overkil bolts?

If I had to guess, though, I'd think you'd be fine with a 7/16" diameter 8740 bolt.

I also think I will be fine but I wanted some more opnions, so far I'll prob just buy them and call it done. I don't think I'll need the 2000 rod bolts even tho they will support more stress, it's just stress my motor won't see cause I'm not building a allout car, just a fun car with a good amount of umph!!
