Just tried mine. I used the 6.38v win 7 x64 program and the modded 2.01 usb driver for win10 signed. All works perfect on my laptop.

Maybe it's missing a windows component like .net framework or something like that.

I literally was going to install the same USB prog on my win 11 laptop soon, I can give it a shot...

What was the chain like? looks a little stretched going by the marks.

That's my VR stock engine, only pacemakers, decent exhaust and Mace CAI. It's actually 146 hp or about 110kw. 0-100 in 7.6. That is also the dyno and VE for it. My VP with 140kw, about 190hp, 0-100 6.0 flat, is wavy as shit. and the VE is quite spiky as well, any decent overlap in the cam does this ...
