Nonsense ... although you do have to keep a careful eye on piston speed and 
acceleration rates, the trick here is to use lightweight pistons and rods to 
keep reciprocating mass down.  Increasing the wristpin size is a good idea, 
too.

FWIW, several tuners are using 95.5mm stroke cranks in 20v motors with 
7000rpm redlines and they don't seem to have any problems with it.
