Power Hungry Performance Hydra Chip for Ford Powerstroke 7.3L 1994-2003

free-shipping-usps.jpg

The Hydra Chip includes 17 total memory slots for tuning presets (15 tuning presets, NO START, and MODULE BYPASS) to get the most performance and efficiency out of your truck no matter where or how you are driving! On the old, 6-position knob-style chip, you could never tell what preset you were running unless you counted the knob's clicks. On the new Hydra Chip, you can always see what tuning program you are running with its convenient green LED switchbox. Using the up and down buttons on the switchbox, you can change your tuning preset on the fly. Don't forget we also offer optional billet aluminum flush mounts for a clean OE install into your dash.

When you purchase the blank Hydra Chip, you will have the ability to load 15 specific tunes for your truck make/year. The Windows/Mac software program is a FREE Download. This Download will allow access to the complete inventory of PHP Standard Stock Injector 7.3L Tunes all at no additional charge. Tunes for modifications like injectors or dual pumps aren't included. The USB connection on the Hydra Chip itself will allow you to load tuning presets to your chip without having to take it to a dealer or send it back to us! Just plug it into your Windows/Mac based computer and download your selections, even while installed on the PCM.

This feature is especially helpful if you order a custom tune from a custom tuning company--they can email you the file (which is specific to your serial number) and you can install it yourself from the comfort of your home! Your Hydra comes with the USB extension cable adapter, you can even plug your laptop into the chip from your cab while it is still installed in your truck!

    Everyone that owns a 7.3 should have one. Especially a stock truck. It really adds power. The php library tunes work good for a stock truck but you have the ability to purchase other tunes from several tuners.

    Amazing

    Huge difference immediately. Just make sure you program the correct codes for the part number of your PCM. Forgot that step and burned a lot of time removing / recleaning the contacts thinking it was a HW issue. SW!

    When I first got my 02 f250 I thought I would never add a tuner. Then a couple of years went by and started doing some upgrades to help with the already amazing reliability of the 7.3. Then after some hard thought I figured I would not be using all of the hp given in the tunes all of the time only when needed to pass someone or merge onto the freeway. So I purchased the PHP Hydra. Install may seem scary if you have never messed with the computers on your truck but it was fairly easy and very straight forward with the instructions. It made a huge difference in performance and firming up the transmission shifts. Did not necessarily buy it for MPG but after a month of the chip installed I have seen a 1 MPG increase in mixed driving conditions. Definitely a must have upgrade like everyone says. Truck has 320000 and so far the extra power has not had any ill effect on the powertrain or drivetrain after 2000 miles.

    2 chips for 2 different trucks . They both idle rough , rpms just completely drop and truck shuts off after revving and letting off .pedal . One truck would run ok sometimes, switch tunes and truck will just die . Starts right back up after .

    Over the past several years I kept seeing how the hydra chip is the best for the 7.3, I had a Edge CTS3 evolution (programmer) and thought it was good enough. Went ahead and bit the bullet after talking to a few with the Hydra and KC Turbo. This is night and day compared to the CTS3 Evolution, shifts much smoother and has more power than before, now I use the Evolution as my monitor only. If your on the fence, climb on over and get the Hydra, you won't regret it.

    The first thing you need for a 7.3 changes everything. Makes me smile all the time driving a 22 year old truck
