got $5000, 125# compression and funky carbs, what next?

Long story short, i was incentivised with $5000 to the Pinz in the near future. We'll see if it actually ever comes through.
My dilema is what to do with that money. I recently found my compression to be somewhere between 120 and 125 per cyl. I also have some carbs that could use a rebuild and possibly a worn distributor.
My first thought was the new cyl and higher compression pistons (~$2000), Carbs rebuilt by Jim (~$700) and some distributor solution (~$?). With all the unknowns, the $5k should cover it.
However, seeing that I'll have somewhere around $1500 into ignition and carbs, would i be happier with Jim's EFI system? Could i do the cyl rebuild and Jim's EFI for $5k total?
