Sorry changing the con rods won't do this... the 'stroking' (no pun intended) you are after is done by changing the crankshaft...

Changing the crank to increase the stroke will also have the effect of reducing the max RPM - do you really want to do this?

You'd be better off taking the motor to an 'overbore' condition, then fitting a good cam to suit your needs...
