Do it, but I guess you would like to match it with a supercharger, which would lead to what is known as Miller cycle. It had been sucessfully done in stationar/industrial and marine engines since the '30s or '40s, and is also used in some cars from Mazda and Nissan.

You can also try the mods you're planning into a V6, benefitting from the lesser weight and slightly lesser internal frictions.
