Rebuilding an Ls1, stroke it or not?

About to pull and rebuild my 2001 Ls1 motor, and I dont know whats best. Would like to hear opinions or previous pros or cons from experiences. Is stroking my motor worth it or not? And I am just looking for 475-500hp with out a crazy cam.

Why stop with just stroking it? You gotta blow it too.

Law1982,
How long do you want to keep this car. What are you willing to do financially and work wise on this vehicle?
