With maybe an exhaust only run tossed in, and only because I believe the stock exhaust is the most restrictive part of the bike.

IMO if you don't establish the baseline you are wasting your money which is why what you say about getting it dialed in totally stock and then making upgrades makes the most sense to me. Keep it stock, get the carb dialed in as best you can and see what it makes, then figure out how you want to stage the subsequent runs with which upgrades.
It's a cool project, don't get me wrong, but based on the mods being discussed not sure how much improvement you'll actually be making because like was pointed out already the mods are mainly making it more tune able and are like for like. I'm thinking any increase you do see will be more a result of being able to dial the bike in tighter to it's existing capability as opposed to actual HP increasing modifications beyond the stock configuration.
That said though any more HP you can squeeze from it that you don't have now is a good thing!
Now if we did some head work or maybe a carb upgrade, something along those lines.............
