225 long rod stroker, HELP

I appreciate it guys. I'm following a tech setup I found on SlantSix.org forum. To answer some question and comments. No a V8 isn't really an option at this time. I have thought about a 5.9 Magnum swap with overdrive that I have sitting in a Dodge van. I understand the longer rod doesn't make a stroker, the advantage to the longer rod, from my understanding, is to close the combustion chamber up to increase compression. Long rod + relocated piston pin on the 2.2l piston = higher compression. Simple math guys, I know there is more involved. Its something I read about and wanted to get some input. I'm interested in the Hughes Racing Whiplash cam which is suppose to increase cylinder pressure and doesn't require all the machining of the block and makes descent power, but its a less traveled road and I can't get any REAL feed back from anyone that has used it. And for the others, FI sounds great, might as well set aside 5-8k on engine build including the FI kits. And she doesn't want a blow dryer on the motor. lol. This post is for what you guys are doing. Thank you for the input and please correct me where I'm wrong on all this,
