To stroke or not to stroke? 4b11

Hey guys im from the evo x forum but have a few questions for the 4g63 crowd. Im getting ready to build my 4b11 and i am looking at stroker kits. I want to get some feed back from those of you who have done stroker kits. Have you been happy with the results? have you noticed a problem with Bearing wear? Was the spool worth the loss in rev potential. Im building this thing for street with a red for now with big power mods in the near future. Im curently making 500 whp and looking to go big and im on the stock block so a build is next priority. This car will see lots of abuse both on street and track i put quite a few miles on this car every year as a daily driver. I really like the idea of a stroker but longevity is a major concern

i have a stroker in my 8, and i think quicker spool is much more worth the higher revs.
hit 6k rpm shift and still in full boost for the next gear.
with stock turbo, im getting full spool around 3-3.2k rpm.
not to mention its a stronger bottom end than stock.

stroked is awesome if you drive the car on the street keeping lag at a minimal
