People don't bore their quad .020" over to gain performance. It's usually because the bore is damage or worn and they need a fresh bore. You likely wouldn't notice any difference. You might gain 5cc.
A higher compression piston will help, also if you don't have a pipe yet, get one of those along with a good flowing air filter. Anything to help the quad breathe better should be your first mods. I have heard you need to port 250x/300ex heads to make them flow worth a darn, but that alone could put you over your $300 budget so you may want to wait on that.
Keep in mind that higher compression can mean higher octane requirements with your fuel. Power is nice, but it's kind of a downer everytime you pour $30 worth of fuel into your 5 gallon jug! ;)

I'd get a pipe before you mess with engine internals like a piston or boring.

Oh, well if you have to bore it then you might as well get a high compression piston like you said. You'll notice bigger gains when you get that exhaust.
