Default Stroke choice for turbo motor

So, I am building a twin turbo motor for 2020 Drag Week. I have a 1970 400 block bored 30 over with Program center caps, arp studs. I have, on order from Dave at SD Performance, a set of 95cc 325cfm Edelbrock round ports with a few turbo tricks including T washers.
My issue is rotating assembly choice. I have a very nice Crower billet 4.25 stroke crank and 6.800 Oliver rods on hand but from what I've been reading, everyone is suggesting a shorter stroke.
So what would be the disadvantage to me using the 4.25 combo, and the advantages to selling it and going with say a 4.0 stroke? Thanks for any input.

Erik
