Default Stroker kits?

I was wondering what you guys thought about the stroker kits, I saw them in the 5.0 mags and I wondered if its worth the 1g?

For a 4.6 = no, unless you have headwork or at the very least cams you literally won't gain any horsepower... I know it don't make sense but its true. Now a big bore setup would work wonders on a 4.6, and you won't have to keep the rev's down either like with a stroker. On a 5.0 hell yea its worth stroking.

yeah, if you're going to be rebuilding an 5.0 engine anyway, you might as well stroke it while you're at it!
