There's not enough information about the state of those heads, intake, and cam to be able to respond in any meaningful way. If they were "the weak link in the chain" they would certainly restrict any gains from stroking the engine.

OTOH, if your heads, intake, and cam have untapped potential you can see significant gains from stroking. Brent Lykins or another quality engine builder is in a far better position to assess that than I am.

Edit: I'm no engine building expert, but that dyno chart tells me your heads, intake and cam are all supporting high RPM breathing. Conclusion: That engine would likely benefit from more stroke.
