Carillo has made excellent rods for years, they are definately a decent option. They are strong and pretty light and they have options between "H" beams which weigh 565 Gr each or the slightly less beefy "A" beams which weigh 515 Gr each. They are somewhat spendy but a good rod. However, for the cost, I would still say take the Eagles, they are the best deal cost/strength for an engine in the range you are looking at. The Crower and Pauters are stronger but you will pay for it and they both weigh more which does also matter. There are other options out there, but unless I got them recommended by someone I really trusted or they could back up claims that they were better, I wouldn't waste too much time investigating them.

Oh yea, Manley rods are okay, but for the same money, I would go with the crowers any day.
