Default Had a few questions for the pros

Hey guys. You probably dont know me cause i mostly view the forums dont post often. I have been looking for a 87-93 5.0 GT stang for a long time and found one that seems to be just what I am looking for, a 1989 mustang gt. It is mint cond inside and out, only has 134,000km's(I'm from canada), no accidents, only 2 owners(2nd owner has had it for 10 years) etc etc... He sent me 19 pictures and it looks all good I probably gonna go check it out soon. But there was a couple things I wanted to ask you guys about it:

It is not stock, its has some upgrades and I was wondering if you guys have an experiences with the aftermarket mods he has put on it or if u know anything about them.
he has done the H/C/I. Victor Junior Aluminum Heads, X303 cam, preformance upper and lower plenum intake. A 75mm throttle body and egr spacer. Also full length headers, x pipe and offroad exhaust. What Do you guys think about this combo? Do you know if these aftermarket parts are any good? Is this still a streetable car or is this cam not suited to street use? What kinda horse power do u think this would make?
Also anything in particular I should be looking for if I go check it out? I know about the usual questions and things to look for, but with what I have told you, is there anything in particular i should ask or look for? visually and when/if I take it on a test drive?
Also this is kind of a random question but what year did they start putting airbags in the stangs? Just wondering if this car would have them
Thanks a lot for any help
J

Sounds like a good car. 89 didn't have airbags, they started in 90. 90-93 have steering wheels that look like this.



I would change the cam out but thats just my opinion. There are better cams out there for that combo. A streetable car is all in the owners opinion really. That car should be just fine.
