Well, Eagle H-beams are a nice light rod. but strength wise they are probably only as strong as a stock DET rod. The reason DET rods are so cheap for their strength though is mass. the DET rods are 621g, Eagles are 520g, GTi-R rods are like 650g!!! I think eagles are a great choice for someone who is rebuilding a DE to go turbo. now...rebuildting a DET...tahts another story. i woudl stay stock just becase you have good rods already. However...I have seen alot of people make really good power on the stock DE rods and they are probably even lighter than the Eagles.
I talk to some really big names in the FWD scene on a daily basis...i will ask them their opinion.
