Icon6 Engine help!

I have a 94 civic dx coupe with a d15 engine
if i were to buy a d16 head, new intake manifold, and new throttle body would that be a good choice? And does anyone now how much horse power it might give me?
Thanks

9-10 horsepower is alot when yoru stock setup only makes like 100....thats a 10% increase in power... add a cam to that head and you will feel a very noticeable difference. goodluck buddy.
