Considering some builders say yes and others no, it would appear that the difference is negligible.

That was always my theory also - but now I have two long-stroke modular motors - a 5.4 blown Lightning pickup and a 5.0 Coyote motored Mustang GT. Both of them - particularly the 7k redlined Mustang rev like electric motors. My 4.25 inch stroke 428 with medium weight flywheel seems to be extremely responsive and rev-happy for a fairly mild motor. So now I'm not so sure. There is quite obviously more to it than just the length of the stroke.
