your best bet is to talk to the guys from toda.
they can manage and sort you out.

they give u warranty on their builds too (from what im told)

What kind of intake system/ headers and exhaust do you have? Ill firstly upgrade those before thinking about engine rebuild for more power. Once all that is upgraded get a tunable ECU i.e hondata, neptune and etc and tune it.
After that look into running a close gear ratio gear set, relatively cheap to buy and performance wise will outweigh other mods further on.

rebuild with more aggressive cams and get a proper tune with I/H/E.

If you change the cams you'll need a new ecu and tune and changing your final drive or ratios will give you your best bang for buck improvements as is suggested. Have you researched at all, and how far do you think 5 k is going to get you also?
