Buzz, if the valves are not shrouded by a small bore, then you generally won't see much difference.

The differences that you will see are affected by piston weight, rod weight, etc. A short stroke engine will have either a longer rod or a taller piston in comparison to the same displacement with a long stroke. Weight does make a difference in how an engine accelerates or makes power.
