More stroke?

Would running more stroke in a blower application have any advantage over stock stroke? I ask because powerhouse is selling a 5140 steel 3.56 crank for the price of a stock crank and you don't need to grind the block.

Whenever you increase displacement there is more potential for power given the same combo of both.....Keep in mind that different pistons may have to be used.Without them the stock piston will travel further in the bore and could possibly smack a valve depending on tolerences...........
