To mod or not to mod
After driving the Z for a few days, it's just too quiet.
To me, the 95's are GM history, and this car has the Dunn heads. I know now too that every dollar I put into the mods, are just basically pissed away...lol.
What I would like to do:
Headers
Port and polish
Powder coating
Haibeck chip
Corsas
Basically, the same mods I had on my Z I sold.

I know exactly what you are saying. I personally prefer later cars for a few reasons. However, for exact reason you pointed out, historical being the last year, I would have felt somewhat guilty if I drove the car in daily basis. For this reason I picked a 94-almost the same as 95.
Having said that, apart from powder coating, the rest of the mods you are considering are reversible or hidden.
At the end of the day, it's your car and do what makes you happy.

Put some gears in it and some loud tri-flows. :-)

Even if you do the port work, no one will know it anyway as its not seen.
Even powdercoating can be media blasted off and painted again.

I see no reason why porting would hurt collector value, it's hidden and still all stock parts.

"If" you had to go to NCRS, the easiest thing to do is not to Powder Coat the motor.
Everything else can be removed back to stock and or never noticed. (NCRS can't tell if you port and polish the top end).
GO FOR IT!
