royal enfield classic 350 performance upgrade without losing the easy feel

I am planning a royal enfield classic 350 performance upgrade for a bike that mostly commutes and does weekend rides. The owner wants a bit more pull, not a loud bike that is worse at being a Classic.
I found this related page while comparing notes: royal enfield classic 350 performance upgrade. I wanted a practical thread before ordering parts.
Would you check valve service, plug, air filter, intake leaks, chain slack, sprockets, brake drag, tire pressure, battery voltage and the same hill before exhaust or fueling parts?
