Default good daily driver????

I'm looking at buying a few cars and one has my eye but from what I've heard on this board is that with mods and blowers comes more day to day work that has to be done on the car. I'm looking for this to be my main daily drive so I want something I can trust and will not have to put any money in it as far as going to the shop and fixing problems.

Here are a list of the mods that will be on one of the cars would this be causing myself problems or could I trust it as much as a stock car or one with just headers and exhaust.

Here are the aftermarket modifications

Magnacharger – Intercooled MP112 @ 5psi boost – fully polished
230/230 114 Comp Cam, 26918 springs, Ti retainers, moly pushrods
LG Motorsports stainless Pro long tube headers w/ x-pipe
Magnaflow stainless exhaust system

Mild mod but anytime you do a mod it adds to the possibility of having issues....
