Default Stroker kit question

I've seen several places selling a 4.6L to 302 stroker kit that includes the rotating assembly. What i haven't seen is power numbers for this upgrade. Does anyone know how much benefit the $2500+ and many hours for the install would give? I believe one of the kits was forged so that'd be a perfect welcome to a decent amount of boost from a SC or turbo. I know more than just the engine would need upgrades for high boost levels but my main question is expected or proven benefit from the stroker kit.

I would guess the numbers would be lower than the 400bhp listed in the link due to that being DOHC and probably has some other upgrades past the rotating assembly.

yes I would agree but it is likely the rotating assembly that your thinking about
plus the intake on the 3-valve seems better than the engine in the link
you would need to find someone that has done it to the 3-vlave and left everything else stock to find out

Me and a friend may be going to HRP next Sunday (not this Sunday) depending on the weather. If we end up going, would you want to meet us out there? I'm getting new wheels/tires on Wednesday and I want to see how I do with better traction (despite the slightly heavier wheels/tires).
