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!

    Best tuner

    Posted by Jackson Wood on Sep 17th 2021

    I am a really big fan of this tuner. Fairly easy to install. Comes with everything needed to install. Only problem that I have is that with the 100+ hp tunes it has problems shiting 2-3. Not sure if its the tuner or my truck but overall very impressed.

    Was excited to see how well this chip would do. I downloaded all the stock tunes. That was pretty straight forward with the online instructions. After installing the chip, I attempted to move through the tunes. I noticed that the control box was a bit slow to respond. Multiple clicks required to move between tunes. That was with pauses in between pushes. After selecting a mild tune, I attempted to go for a test drive. After turning truck around, I notice the display was gone. No digits were visible. I turned the truck off and back on. No change. I unplugged the ribbon cable, no change. I took truck for a test drive. I am in a tune, but don't know which one. A great chip, but the display/selector hardware quality should match the chip quality. After speaking with Tech Support, I am going to flip the ribbon cable tomorrow, but am still disappointed that the ribbon cable lasted less than 5 minutes of use. If the ribbon/display is that sensitive, then how is it to last in a truck with 3/4 ton suspension? Update to follow...

    Wanted to like. seen so many happy users. no matter what I did this thing just didnt play nice with my transmission. Even took it to a shop for them to tinker with it. No matter what, if I put the throttle pedal down it shifts like its trying to break my transmission. Now it sits on a shelf.

    Good upgrade

    Posted by Ken on Jul 28th 2021

    Ive put 4 of these in, and one removed and re installed into a new rig. one OBS. I like how my wife's OBS scoots much faster on even a low setting (daily 65 or 40, I forget) and I run my 03 at daily 40. If you want it having the option of further hp gains is nice, say for merging or something. But, I don't really need that much most of the time. I also like that after further engine mods I can fairly easily get tunes to keep the truck happy.

    Replaced an old Banks six-gun chip with the new hydra. Huge difference for the better.

    AWESOME !!
    This chip does just what everyone says it will! Truck drives like a different truck now. Haven’t towed with it yet or checked mileage but man was it worth the money shoulda done it sooner. RiffaRaff had the best price and sent along a 90 degree USB chord which is in the truck waiting for when I want to change tunes.
