You can go with a longer rod but you need to have the correct pistion for the rod lenght. I am using a 6.200" rod but i have to get a custom set of pistons made for the rod. With a longer rod you need to move the wrist pin higher on the piston to compansate for the increased lenght, but you will increase you dwell(time that the piston is at TDC) which will increase performance. I think i have that right.
