    you will not get your engine to 300hp with a rebuild.

    You will have to spend a shit ton of money to get the engine to 300 on boost...it will involve rebuilding EVERY SINGLE thing from the block up. More importantly a lot of experience, a regular rebuild is a good idea to get your hands dirty before you attempt an all out build.

    Even building to achieve a modest increase in power, say trying to get to 170-200hp, will require much more than just replacing old parts with newer/better parts (such as cam, pistons, etc)...it will require tuning experience and aftermarket engine management and/or ecu chipping etc. No where near a regular rebuild.

    That you are asking this question means you have a LOT to learn (more than can be taught on a forum) before you can attempt that. There are a lot of good books out there that can help you to get started on the path, I am reading a few myself actually. i would recommend the following to get you started;

    Four stroke performance tuning
    Forced induction performance tuning both by A. Graham Bell
    Engine Blueprinting by Rick Voegelin
    Engine Builders handbook by Tom Monroe

    That is just a start...and over $100 worth of books. I am actually working my way through all of those right now.

          you're not going to find too much spoon feeding out of the beginner's section. look in the performance tech for tips.
