Your engines stroke is not a variable number. Increasing nitro content won't change anything in the engine buy you may want to increase head clearance and run a cooler heatrange plug. This won't change the distance the piston travels in its sleeve but will change compression ratio with more or less head clearance to suit the fuel.
Obviously repeat the runin process with the new fuel.
