I wouldn't push over 800rwhp with eagle rods. Cost me a new engine the type rod and went with Callies I-bean HD series. But sounds like you have a solid built.

Good luck with the tuning. I found that 1. The LS3 cylinders are not good for high boost so be careful. 2. E85 and ID2000 injectors are a little tricky to dial in. 3. A 4.00 stroke Dragon Slayer crank is hard to come by. 3. has nothing to do with yours but just saying. lol.

Look forward to seeing some numbers
