The head gasket gets real thin between bores on a 454 small block. I would not go that big on a motor that will see nitrous unless you like changing head gaskets. Also if you run a 4" stroke with a 6" rod the compression height is only 1". You then end up with a thin top ring land. Not much margin for error. I know this from expierience. The gain from the few extra inches would not be that big anyway.
