Default Eagle Connecting Rods

I just purchased a set of Eagle Specialty Products connecting rods for my 406 buid up. They are H-beam style 6" rods that are fully machined on all surfaces and look to be shot peened as well. They use a 12 pt cap screw. The part number is GEN6000B.

I've looked on the web and all I am able to find is Eagle's ESP line in H-beam.

I would like to know their hp and rpm rating. Has anyone else used these with success in a high output engine?

Yeah, but you drive your car pretty easy :D Just kidding!!

I know they will handle the hp that I am planning to build (450-500), I just wanted to know the outer limits (in case I get crazy with nitrous or something) :reddevil
