If you are second guessing yourself and want to upgrade, get the Eagles. I run them in my Boss 302, making 540hp shifting at 8700 and going thru at 8900 in good air with no problems. Just make sure you get them with the arp2000 bolts, and check the big ends and small ends.
For 500.00 you can't go wrong.
I tried a set of those, cheap and a set on the shelf here in town. I may be too anal, but the big ends were all over the place. Had to re-size them, and length varied. Had to sand some piston tops to set the deck. (No mill)
Mine only goes ~8400 in the lights. Best I have found are Manley. Light, and all sizes dead nuts. This was three years ago. Eagle may be better now.
