I'm building a 415 with 10.5:1, and it's going to have Eagle Rods, Eagle Crank, and Diamond -13cc dish pistons. Will press over 800 HP at about 10-12Lbs of boost. I'll let you know what happens soon. Give CNC-Motorsports a call and discuss with them all of what you want. They do fantastic work and they're building my Shortblock per spec.
eagle is a well known name for engine internals i use them in the past pushing to it 680 rwhp with not problem so that is more than 700hp@ the crank. My need motor i hope to push 700 rwhp with a turbo set up and i going to use eagle h bean again.

in my short time period here i see alot of grandstanding regarding eagle. its OK to use a callies compstar crank cause its machined in the US but its build overseas. seems everyone is quick to bash eagle because they are made in china.
i talked to my engine builder and he personally has been perfectly happy when people bring him eagle products. hes had callies stuff in his shop too and didnt feel it was any better than the eagle stuff as far as low dollar equipment.
if hes looking at buying a eagle set of rods i highly doubt hes going to upgrade to a set of lunatis for 3Xs the price. the callies rods though are just a step above the eagles in regards to pricing.
alot of "buy american" on this board. probably going to rough some feathers with that statement but if your so buy american then you can pretty much toss all your home electronics and countless other things in the garbage. be sure to buy american when it comes to your engine internals though, LOL.
