I'm trying to find a good set of 2.8 pistons for my stroker. Is there a preffered set for this setup? What information would I need to supply the shop if I wanted to order a set? Stroke, bore, compression, etc., or if I said 2.8 stroker 10.1:1 would they know exactly what I need? Might as well ask, this is one of the last things on my list. Thanks.

You need to call a custom piston maker and tell them what you need.
2.8L stroker isn't going to be one of the things you tell them that helps.
bore
stroke
conrod length
what head/engine
desired compression

I had a similar deal with Top End Performance and TWM Throttles recently. It took 6 weeks to get a set of throttles made up for one of my customers and then they shipped it to the wrong address! It sucks being at the mercy of your suppliers.
I have, however, had good luck dealing with JE directly. We are a dealer for their pistons (primarily Porsche) and have had good experiences so far. That being said I know a lot of people who won't use their pistons. Their reasons are well justified and have had experiences just like Jordan's. At least there are other options out there to make everyone happy.

Ross, Wiseco, or Alusil are easily just as good. Pretty much everyone is going to be using the same hardware on the tooling side these days.Tenured Automotive Service Professional - Avid BMW Enthusiast
