Carbon reeds make things feel a bit crisper, they make about zero difference to power.

I've never personally been a fan of carbon reeds, other than they have a tendency often not to wreck a motor if one breaks and gets sucked into it! I've never seen a gain (or loss) noteable enough to warrant the exorbitant expense, unless of course it's a rather old motor (early RD for example) with metal reeds!

HRC rectifiers have the potential to flow more air

HRC rectifiers on the other hand actually increase intake velocity and also "shape" the incoming flow, and do make a difference, but it's only really noticeable on the dyno... unless you are some kind of 250 riding god!

Saying that though, it's all the tiny differences that add up! If I took the HRC reed cages out of mine, and replaced the HRC rectifiers with stock ones, and put a standard lower head back on, and did all the other "unnoticeable little things" I would probably be back down to 60hp!
