Default Looking for HD connecting rods for TT project

I have been gathering my parts for my Darton 427 TT motor that is going in my Chevy 2 Pro Touring car. Time to buy the connecting rods! Just looking for some opinions as to which options are the best to take. I am very pro Carrillo, as I have used quite a few of there rods in many LS projects. Someone had recommended the Eagle H-beams but I am a bit concerned for a $400 set of rods dealing with 1000-1200 FWHP.

Kurt (W2W), what are you using in that big HP 402??

Are they a standard item from them or custom? 6.125" with a 2.100" pin and a .927" wrist pin??

Thanks Kurt.

Just wanted to see what else is out there. Always looking to mix it up snd try some new stuff. Most of the motors that I build have never been more the 800 hp. This project is considerly more.

That car uses eagle forged off the shelf rods. 1200+++ RWHP. One of the fastest blow-thru carb cars in the world, he's duking it out with Filipowski for the fastest in the world. Personally I think eagles are strong enough, but if you want more power the olivers or carillo rods are nice pieces.
