Can a stock clutch on a 03 handle a S/C or does it need upgrading also. Not racing it or even turning the tires but don't want to do things h/as.

no
isn't modding fun
You will likely get the dreaded pedal sticking to the floor.
A trans to diff brace will also be a good upgrade.
You end up chasing the weakest link. It's cheaper to beef up these items before you break them.

Lol! Yes I am starting to find out you just can't keep things simple. One item affects the other. My wallet feels like it is getting thinner. Maybe I will go for a air intake system and be happy.

Modding isn't cheap and as mentioned the stock clutch isn't designed to handle a 50% increase in power, what are your goals with the car as a CAI is a far cry from a supercharger?

Just would like a little more kick when called for. Didn't realize it would be a 50% increase though. I don't need that kind of kick to keep those nuts off me who always wants to see if they can beat a vette. Just starting to look at options and of course the SC came up.
