What Rods should I use to run 40psi+ boost?(I have Eagle Rods right now...HTA37R)
Today we did a compression test and it was 175psi on all cylinders. I just thought about checking the compression before we install my turbo.(hta37R) I know that it is not safe to run more than 35psi on eagles.(after reading bunch of thread about eagles)
I just want to run low 10's on race gas and mid 10's on pump.
Should I switch to Carillo? Crowers BR spec? or Oliver? Do I have to rebalance the piston with the new rods? or pretty much just swap it ?

swap them man. I did Brian Crower Pro series rods. They are about 500 bucks and Brian himself said they are good to over 1100. You know I made the power with them with no issue. Plus they have the new Custome Aged ARP 625+ Rod Bolts which are stronger then the L19 bolts. GL

Crower or Pauter in steel rods. If you want to go aluminium there are other options.
As far as balancing goes, your entire rotating assembly should be balanced individually and then together. You'll only be able to do that if you take the whole motor apart.

Crower are very good and so are Pauter
I snapped a Crower in half but it was used from another motor so its hard to know what it went through.
For a daily driven car that is my choice best bang fro the buck.
I would avoid eagle - they are junk, IMHO.
I am now using BR Alum rods and those are the ultimate rod but I am not sure how they would hold up for a true daily driven 4 seaons car. I hear conflicting data.
