Newbie question here.. would that 20hp gain be the cumalative gain from cam and I/H/E or from the cam itself only if I/H/E were installed?

I think just by the wording of his answer it's from the cams alone AFTER you do i/h/e

yes. you cant make your engine take more air in(cams) without reducing the restrictive flow(i/h/e) and expect the same gains

I would go with Zex for SOHC Camshafts. I really like them a lot and have driven a 95 civic ex vtec with a zex camshaft and cam gear with some head work I/H. That thing was awsome. He walked away from me like I was going anywhere. The car runs 15.5 et. The camshaft is 238.99 from www.zex.com. I think that you would be really happy with them. I HIGHLY recommend zex. If you had a DOHC then id go with skunk2.

15.5? well at least the camshaft isn't too expensive.
