Default Modular stroker gains?

If I bored the block .20 over, and threw in a stroker kit, around what gains would I make with the stock heads/cams, If any? Dont have enough money to finish the whole motor, so I wanted to get the bottom end done, than spray it for the mean time. Will I notice any gains with the few extra cubes?

lol a bored engine will be more power then stock every time cuz of the cubic inches but a stroker i would say should add some nice HP going with the typical strokers for other engines...i say go for it bro!

Strokers don't do much for 4.6's...not much if any HP gains to be had and maybe 20ft lbs tq...not woth it if your NA...now a Big Bore is another option that has shown gains in HP and TQ. Last test i saw was a 20hp gain and 40tq on a stock headed car...this was from Modular Performance. That is the route i would go over a stroker. 4.6's already have enough stroke...we lack bore!

Strokers are a waste of $$ on a 4.6, IMO.
