You may really want to let it be. Milling the head increases compression...AND it means is you are gonna retard your camhaft timing. You may loose low-end grunt which is not a good thing stuck in the sand. The % amount of HP gained on a 96hp engine may not even be very much anyway. The only way to compensate for the retarded cam timing is with an adjustable cam sprocket at around $105 or so.
