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!

    Tuner

    Posted by Robert Wicka on Jun 20th 2025

    Works very well and very satisfied on how much more my 2002 super duty responds with the tuner. It was a wise purchase and very pleased with it. It was recommended by a friend who is very much into Ford trucks and it was the one he recommended for my truck. No regrets here.

    I have owned this truck for almost 20 years, bone stock 7.3 crew cab 4x4 SRW. This is the best thing I have ever bought. Really woke up this 300K mile old girl. Shipping was fast, product came packed for travel, live dealing with RiffRaff.

    Really woke up my 7.3 and I can't believe I waited to ditch my TS for so long. Night and day difference. Fast shipping as well!

    PHP Hydra on Stock 2001 7.3L

    Posted by David Bracher on Apr 17th 2025

    My stock 7.3 is reliable but it is also slugish. I installed the Hydra, with a Banks cold air and Banks Monster exhaust and the truck is not the same. The Hydra was installed last and was the missing link to waking the truck up. In my opinion, it is the best dollar-for-dollar mod and a must have for 7.3L power increase unless you are using your truck for getting groceries only!

    PHP Hydra chip/tuner

    Posted by Mike Panek on Mar 17th 2025

    Awesome product! Easy, straightforward install. Very easy to program what tunes you desire for your driving/towing needs. The "whisper mode" is really nice to have when ordering your cheeseburgers! Definitely worth it!! Great support from the folks at PHP Hydra manufacturer!

    Great product, customer service is also top notch. I found only some minor discrepancies when talking to Kc turbo customer service. I would recommend this product and this company to anyone looking install on your 7.3. Thanks riffraff.

    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.

    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!
