Does anyone have a printout of one? Just interested so see how it peaks and if there's much poke below 4000 rpm.

Actually, that doesn't look right. The torque is linear, and the power is quite flat. VTEC's are normally quite peaky and look more like a turbo curve

Okay, it's not the best or most accurate of dynographs, but VTEC engines is seldom to have peaky torque curves (which defeats the purpose of having VTEC anyway). VTEC (especially 3 stage VTEC) gives a near flat response, and it does so over a wider RPM range than many other engines of similar size - even with their own "valve timing" systems.
