no the stock clutch wont hold spraying off the line. if your car is bolt on only, and you want to keep a stock pedal feeling, id go with the LS7 clutch. they can handle under 500whp very well, and it drives like stock.
Watch out for that little 10-bolt dumping the clutch and spraying off the line. add some sticky tires in there and you will snap it like a twig.

yes the stock flywheel will work with the centerforce clutch. just make sure you get it resurfaced.

With the LS7 clutch you will need the LS2 flywheel, it WILL NOT work with the stock flywheel. You can get the LS7 clutch disc, pressure plate, and LS2 flywheel from many of the sponsors around here as a kit from the range of $4-500.
