Your JE piston wont work with the big stroker cranks. You'll have to buy a new one. While your at it you might as well go big on compression too.

Why is that preddy?
I have an 11.25mm stroker in mine with a JE 11:1 comp piston running an actual 12:1 comp with custom cut eyebrowns in it. And have had no problems yet. I also heard that the JE was not a real tough piston but i was wondering what your thoughts on it are....

Don't you have to buy a piston made for the larger stroker cranks? 90% sure you do, for corrected pin heigth ??? If you are spending all that money on the high dollar crank you might as well get a GOOD CP piston and up the compression. JE and Weiscos are decent for an off the shelf piston, but when you are in that deep you might as well go all the way.
+1 The CP really is the way to go if you are spending that much money on a new crank.  Lets face it, the piston takes a lot of abuse.

I will say my Barker speced piston took about 5 hits before the valve finally broke thru it and stuck.

Thats for damn sure. If you are buying the last piston you think you ever will, buy a diamond.
