Default Engine Rebuild Advice

So I have a 1992 Evo motor I am slowly rebuilding. Thus far I have had the heads bored .030 over and bought KB pistons with Hastings rings, the heads valves and seats were polished and installed new seals, the bike came with Screamin Eagle intake and exhaust that I will use for now, however, I installed a Boyesen twin shot on the carb and added easy adjust screws on the idle and the fuel mixture side, the bottom end will have an Andrews Ev27 cam with a new cam bushing and seal kit as well, a steel breather valve, a Torrington bearing, Crane adj. pushrods and tappet roller wheels, and all new Cometic gaskets. I also rebuilt the clutch and replaced the compensator sprocket spring, as well as every gasket and o-ring in the inner primary, as well as the inner primary to engine o-ring. From what most are saying I should have myself a pretty nice little scooter when its done, I'm just curious if anyone has any advice, input, or if I could/should install something else to get a little more out of her. I'm on a nickel and dime budget, that's why so lengthy, but I'll get there. The bike only has 25,000 miles, but the base gasket was leaking. So, what do you think? And I know this isn't going to be a 100hp motor so be nice. Thanks, Glenn

We cleaned up the stock intake and exhaust valves and seats instead of buying new valves.
