Has anyone built a 315 stroker?

I'm trying to get the scoop on a 315 stroker engine and how well they perform. I, myself, have never heard of such a kit.
I might be getting a mustang with this engine and really would like to know more about this stroker motor such as the pros/cons

I believe itr is LUNATI that builds this kit. I't weakness is the stock 2.3L Turbo rods it uses, would probably hold up to 450 hp though. I will warn you that I did have a capri with two turbo 4 cyl. engines that both had rod bolts walk and punched the rod through the block, apparently the cause of this is usually due to the harmonics of the 4 cyl engine, so it probably wouldn't happen with the 5.0.
