Most times Hp at the left side of graph,RPMs at the bottom.So if you hit iVETC at
stock setting....aaaaa 5800 RPMs locate 5800 at the bottom then follow strate up
till you see the HP flow line (most times red sometimes blue)
When you Dyno you will do it 3 times so you may see 3 lines very close together.
Most times the flow line for Hp for our cars (Si) will be the tallest line on the graph.
The flow lines at about the middle are for your Tq. And most times that reading is at the
right side of the graph.Some of the readings you will look for are Max Hp,(very top of flow line)as well as iVTEC cross over,(A spike going up in Hp,)And over all a smooth upward
flow of Hp and Tq. Search the word Dyno and look at the Dynos see what mods they
have.then follow the red Hp line.then follow the Tq line.I hope I helped
