Default Higher compression......how much to mill off????

I have recently decided to go for it and pimp the **** out of my d16a6...(on a budget, of course )....I am planning on port and polishing the head....but also want to mill some off the bottom of the head to increase compression....how much is sufficent and whats good rule of thumb??? (This car is for daily driving/street racing)(All it has on it right now is: i/h/e/cat./chip) THANX!!
