get a new motor, b-series or h-series, sell everything you have done with your d16y8, sorry man, all motor, you would probably not go that far unless you have lots of money

milling the head means to cut down and resurface the bottom of the head where it meets the block, this is done so higher compression can be handled...which is a vital part of all motor

Friend had a single cam go 14.7 in a four door civic.
mods were:
Milled head 20 tho
AEM cam gear
DC sports header
Apexi N1 with test pipe

It was an easy 13 second motor in a crx

So i would definitely mill the head first off
