Default 4.6 stroker... do or dont?

hello, i have a 2003 gt 5pd and i have the after market heads, cams, intake, CAI, and exhaust components... my later plans are to put a supercharger on it and i would also like to stroke it to 302...mainly to make the bottom end stronger and more reliable, and of course add more power!!would it be worth it to do somthing like that and has any one stroked their 4.6?

The stroke isn't the problem on the 4.6, it's the bore size.

so a 5.0 stroker won't add much power?

so getting it stroked and bored to 5.0 302 wouldnt give me a good power boost?, i should just buy a stronger bottom end?

hmm i thought that it would give more power because it makes it into a bigger motor and gives it more displacement or what ever

Because for them it does add power, but on our mod motors strokers dont help!
