For drag racing, the stock intercooler is fine for a bolt-on 03. Hell I road race the crap out of mine and even after a 30 minute session the hotside is warm but the cold side is cool. No need for a monster FMIC. BTW - us 2003 guys can toss ice water into the IC sprayer and that is an additional bonus.

I would do everything you think about doing and even a ported or ss manifold before IC upgrade (unless maybe if you live in a very hot climate)
