Many people will do streetport engine as there has been plenty of discussion about there being little to no hp improvement between a half-bridged and streetport, but we will not get into those arguments, but if you look around, most people are running streetported setups.

I'm not knocking the RX7Store, as they do some good work. However, you should at least call some shops and talk to them about your goals. Some other shops to consider:
http://irperformance.com/
http://www.banzai-racing.com/
http://www.a-spectuning.com/
Discuss "on the phone" your goals and see what they recommend.

Jason is good, but at times hard to get a hold of. I have a ton of faith in rotary performance and Ari and Chris. They answer my questions and are just straight up good guys.

If your engine does not need rebuilding and has been determined to be in overall good health, then your money is better spent on reliability and performance mods. All the parts that you would need to buy even if you have the engine rebuilt. It is relatively easy to put together a 300+ rwhp car on the stock engine, with simple bolt-on mods and tuning.
It does not sound like you are looking for a 500+ hp car. Installation of a PFC, exhaust, intake, IC, clutch and basic reliability mods such as radiator, AST, fuel pump, etc and you will have a "fun decently high horse power car for the street and some track" with over 300 hp.
Point is regardless of engine porting you are still going to need to upgrade all the other components to get the power out of the car.

I offer prebuilt blocks where you dont have to worry about shipping your own engine two ways. Price starts at around $3100.00 shipped to Canada(depending location) and I replace every seal, spring, o-ring in the engine with the exception of the actual metal oil control rings themselves and their springs.($250.00 extra if you want them replaced). Bearings are an additional $200.00 for new rotor and stationary gear bearings.
I use 2mm 2 piece ALS apex seals and a street port is included in that price if you desire.
However
, if you are in a rush please look at one of the above mentioned vendors and all are great companies and good people as it would be near May before I could have a block ready to ship. Good luck in whatever you decide.

What is "relatively high-horsepower" to you? Most everyone has a different idea of this. Not to mention as light and as well-balanced the FDRX7 is, a 300-350whp car is pretty damn quick and loads of fun to drive around town.
You have so much research to do I don't think you realize it. Do you wish to accomplish this on factory twin turbos? Single turbo? Is your current engine blown? What type of track events? AutoX? Time attack? Drag?
There are many ways to get to power goals. The twins are great for driving around town and autoX events. A properly set up single turbo is ok on the street and good for time attack events.
Banzai Racing had some very good advice above.
