I almost bought a 5.7L 89 GTA as my first car. My old man suggested that I look at something with a little less HP. He knew I would have ended up wrapping it around a tree and possibly killing myself. So I decided to lisson to the old man and bought a 2.8L 89 Firebird. I know now, that I made the right decision. Everyone handles responsibility differently. I can only speak on what I would have done.
Keep in mind that fuel and ins are not cheep. And when that mod bug bites you...Watch out! 
If you do decide to pick one up. Keep the racing on the track. It's a lot of HP, and TQ. You can get sideways real easy. It's very tempting when a Cobra revs up on you. 
As for the mods. I would suggest the suspension. There are a few weak points there that cause bad tire wear. Good tires will help keep the car on the road and are not cheep. A faster reacting IAT thermistor and or a relocating kit will reduce heat soak. Best bang for the $. IMO...
FYI JBA makes 50 state legal short tube headers. Not as good as long tube but better than stock. And welcome to the forum.
