What it looks like: RPM increase matches stroke length decrease. 4.625" / 4.125" = +12.1% But it doesn't - RPM limit is inertial load on the rods, which only goes up inverse to the square root of the stroke change. The product of shorter stroke X higher rpm at the same stress level is lower than the original. 1.12^.5 = +5.9% The blower's pumping loss also goes up quickly. Remember: boost pressure is bad, it's resistance to intake flow.
Could it work? Sure, it's your (a lot of) money.

50% over, 31lbs, I'm really not sure if my old blower really has that much more to give When you get into the 50% use things are not as happy as they can be unless the blower is top of the line and I am not sure what that is now days.

Chris Cadetto went from a 588" down to a 526" and he said he makes a lot more power and his et times show it.
