I'm not thinking JUN stroker kit at all. I'm definitely not looking forward to increasing the stroke  I was thinking for the worst case scenario, in case I had to reduce the stroke a little in favour of increasing the rod length, I would need a new crank.
As for conrods/pistons do you know anyone who does good custom conrods/pistons? I need the engine to be able to deal with upto 600HP of power (not that I want it for any conceivable reason, just want to build a nicely over-engineered motor that revs to around 9K+ RPM).

Nishad, I was merely using the JUN stroker kit as an example of cost. They supply a billet crank (amongst other things) as part of their kit. If you really had your heart set on a billet crank, I'd suggest talking to Crankshaft Rebuilders here in Melbourne. I'm sure Shuggy could do something for you.
You wouldn't need to reduce the stroke. You could safely move the gudgeon pin up the piston quite a few mm, and by using the TRD gudgeon pins (20mm), you cleverly gain another 1mm. Of course, all this has to be done in consideration with how much boost you plan to run. If you are going to this sort of expense, I'd strongly recommend chatting to an experienced engine builder.
With regard to rods, as Glenn suggested, Argo Engineering in Newcastle or Ridgecrest here in Melbourne would be helpful. With regard to pistons, SPS here in Dandenong are good too.
