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

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!

PHP Hydra
Worked wonders for my 1997 Ford with 7.3. I will repeat another persons review that this chip “woke this truck up”. The install was very involved but found YouTube videos from manufacture that made it possible.

Woke me up!
What a difference over stock. I didnt really understand that I could get such a difference in power and shifting out of my truck. Fast shipping, and great customer service from Riff Raff when I had an install question. If you aren't running a Hydra chip you are missing out.

PHP Hydra for Excursion
Product has a great reputation. Installations videos were indispensable to an easy install. The only problem was programming the chip. It would register on my laptop until I figured out that the micro USB receiver was either loose fitting on not properly wired. Finally, I manually pinched the cable in the receiver and was able to access the programs. Unfortunately, if I need to install new tunes I'll end up having to remove the chip so the six foot USB cable is essentially useless. Besides that, I'm happy with the performance of the chip. It's replacing Banks electronics that were becoming unreliable with age.

Hydra chip
This chip did amazing things in my '01 7.3 F350. got 22 to 24 mpg in town on the 120 HP tune. I now have it in an '01 Excursion 7.3 and had a learning experience with the theft system. can't wait to see what it does for mpg. great power for the 35" tires on it!

a MUST for the 7.3L
5 stars for Riffraff Diesel and PHP, Just finished installing on an early '03 F350 with the ZF6, the canned tunes are plenty powerful for my daily, watch multiple youtube install videos and do it right from the start.

Hydra PHP for 1997 F350
This chip is amazing yo say the least. I had my doubts but after the test drive I'm a believer. Best modification so far to my relatively stock F350 with 250k on the clock.
Had a bit of trouble with the install (make sure to really clean the J3 terminal!) But the guys at Hydra were able to advise me via email. Excited to upgrade the injectors on my truck eventually and get some custom tunes done! -
WOW
My truck felt like I was driving a tractor. Now it feels like a truck. So much more enjoyable to drive.
-
Totally different truck
Plug and play install the only hard part was making sure you get the right tunes loaded onto the chip but definitely worth the money.
