Among really smart, gifted, and talented FE engine builders, there is a split of opinion as to whether a shorter stroke, which will reduce piston speed, will make an engine "revvier." It has been debated on here, and the FE Forum more than a few times, and both sides are firmly entrenched in their respective positions. FWIW, I opted for the 4.125 SCAT crank for my 428 stroker kit. The longer stroke might make a little more power, but the shorter stroke makes more fun (others will steadfastly disagree).
