Performance recommendations and is 300bhp really enough?

Hi i own a 13 year old Rx7 and its abit cranky so im deciding to overhaul and start modifiying it but im not sure where to start. i went to a work shop and he quoted some upgrades including
Bushes/pillow *****
Rear Diffrential overhaul
Trans **** bush
Oil pan leak
Brake clutch MS
Solenoid valve/silicon
hose
Power FC (Boost 0.8
bar up to 300 bhp
original 245 bhp (+25%)
Power steering
Shock Absorber
Delfy Triple meter
Apexi RSM
Radiator
Full Exhaust System
Open Pod HKS yz 800
v-mount intercooler

is 300 good power and how fast a 1/4 mile should i be able to do with that and what kind of boost level should i be able to run , i think 0.8 bar sounds a little shallow. Oh this is keeping the stock sequentials

My suggestion: Wait until you get the car back and see what you think.

It will be much faster than you think with that proposed setup.

it also depends on what you're using the car for. is it a full race car or you just wanting a weekend warrior? If it's gonna be raced, then the answer is NO. If you're just tooling around town, then 300 is plenty.

More is not always better.

im makeing 335rwhp at 11psi and thats with all bolt-ons and good tuning, as far as 1/4 mile times i would say high 11s to low 12s, this car is still faster then most other cars out there u just need to remember that your going to be lighter than most anything else, they just don't build em' like they used to

it realy depends on what you want to do. do u want a track car. or do u want a daily driver with a little power. my car makes 310 to the wheels and its plenty fast on the track and it still handles very well. its realy driver preference.
