A local builder uses Eagle almost exclusively on all engines below 2000HP, unless the customer wants something different....he said he checks them the same way he checks any other cranks...and sends them back if he finds something he doesn't like..just like he sends back callies, crower, lunati, etc.

I personally know of several 1000hp-1200hp blower motors runing around with Eagle cranks/rods with no issues....

We ran Stock GM rods to 850-900hp for years with no problems, stock GM cranks will eventually let go at these power levels though...
