question about bore/stroke On this video -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dIb3znjvws
At about 19 seconds, that is an amazing exotic sound, was this achieved by messing with the bore/stroke? My friend said it was most likely because of having either a long stroke or a short stroke, I wasn't listening too much. I don't know really too much about this topic so here I am. And would it be easy to convert an ls1 into a high reving exotic sound such as this? I'm not wanting to do it on my ls1 trans am, wouldn't suit my car, but I'm curious and naive on the subject of bore and stroke, thanks!

It's just the exhaust system, not the engine internal configuration. Here's the story:

You can get different engine sounds on street-driven cars with different exhaust systems. Check with CORSA. When they initially built cat-backs for the C5, they had two different sounds. One was more exotic than the other. It comes down to what sound frequencies you tune out and which ones you let through.
A very lightweight flywheel also helps the quick free-rev you hear in the video. That's not necessarily a good idea for a street car.
I would not take your friend's advice on engine building.
alot of that "exotic" sound is actually coming from the intake. that car is basically a money is no object vehicle so i dont doubt that it has an individual throttle body intake. they tend to sound like that.
