theres info in the 3rd gen F&Q thread https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/faq-3rd-gen-other-useful-links-68640/
heres pretty much what dgeesaman says. i believe hes right on target as he discusses what to do before you mod and what to look for in power ranges. im not taking credit for this! its just copy and paste my friend
17) What mods do I need to make 300hp? 400hp? 500hp?
Since stock power levels already push the limits of the car, begin with maintenance items: fuel filter, tranny and differential oil, spark plugs and wires, coolant change, injector cleaning, bleed brakes, replace fuel pulsation damper, coolant hoses, etc. Next, install reliability modifications (alternate list) to correct weaknesses in the factory design: all-aluminum radiator, downpipe, aluminum AST or AST elimination, vacuum hose job, boost gauge, coolant temp gauge, modify cooling fans by thermoswitch replacement or manual control, and others. Finally, it is time to add power mods. FDs respond to power modifications and tuning but can’t handle more than a couple bolt-on power mods until fuel, boost levels, and re-tuning are considered. This advice isn’t meant to slow down your progress, but to ensure you don’t destroy your car. It’s happened many times before, and with modified engines pushing the limits of the stock engine systems, the reliability mods become necessities. See this thread for further info.
i) 300HP can be achieved with some bolt-on mods and piggy-back ECU tuning. For example, Pettit Racing offers a +60hp package for under $1500. M2 Performance has a 290HP kit for $2000, and 315HP kit for $3500. 300hp already exceeds the stock ECU’s fuel maps, so the list includes a remapped ECU as well as intake, exhaust, and intercooler upgrades. Any similar set of quality bolt-on will yield similar performance. Any power beyond this point is difficult to pass emissions testing.
ii) 400HP – At this point, it gets tougher to keep the power on the road, so upgraded tires and suspension should also be considered. One fellow planned his path to 400hp in advance to be $10k plus installation time. This list of power mods includes full exhaust, intake, upgraded turbos, reliability mods, upgraded fuel and ignition system, engine porting, standalone engine computer and wideband O2 sensor, clutch, intercooler and tuning.
iii) 500HP – See if you can afford 400 first. Tens of thousands have been spent to get and remain in this range. Don’t expect your engine to last long.
This excellent site is a compilation of modified cars and their dyno performance.

Check out some of these links....

If you want more that 400 rwhp, you are going to be going single turbo probably. This means that you will need to rework your car quite a bit to get there.

yeah i try to lend the help since i need so much of it! i just hope it all comes back to me. with that said 400 rwhp is probably the most you want for the street and any more is going to sacrifice the life of the motor normally. a standalone, single turbo, upgraded ignition system, properly sized fuel system are just the bare roots to it. all maintance NEEDS TO BE DONE FIRST. i forget who said it first but if you have peice of crap and put money into it you just have a more expensive piece of crap now. with all maintance done its much easier to troubleshoot a problem and avoids big bills down the line. i'll end it with another qoute "pay now or pay later". enjoy
