Not really, RPM is RPM, the longer the stroke the more distance traveled, correct work
Stroker motors suck in more air and fuel than short stroke motors do on the same stroke RPM hence the more power they make. shruggy Thye have more ring travel per RPM so maybe they wear out the rings quicker per mile traveled also work shruggy

As I understand it, piston speed is increased and thus piston acceleration. On a theoretical 3.50 stroke and a 5.00 stroke motor, the piston will arrive at TDC at the same time if they were at the exact same RPM. (And that they started in the same place etc etc)
The piston will accelerate quicker away from TDC on the 5.0 stroke motor, it also decelerates quicker to arrive at BDC.
You need good pistons for a big stroke crank grin
