The combo above(and your correct, it's not a really a stroker)

I still don't quite understand. The formula to figure piston speed is

stroke in inches * rpm = mean piston speed.
6

So even if you go to the longer rod your really not gaining any piston speed or loosing any piston speed. The only way to gain or loose piston speed is to turn more rpm or change the stroke at the crank. I do agree that with that combo you would send the piston through the head, but that's where compression height and pin location come into affect.
