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!

Fantastic Programmer!
Easy straight forward install. Noticed a HUGE difference in power immediately! Would have paid twice as much and still been happy! Highly recommended.

Hydra = Overhyped
Switched from F6 as wanted to just try.
So far i want to switch back to F6, trying to get custom tunes that work properly is challenging. keep getting P1211 where never before with F6. Can't see dropping more money down the rabbit hole, if you already have a tuner, just keep it. Hydra is no magic button, DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE! Ribbon cable is a joke, chip is so large you have to bend the crystal oscillator open, hoping the 23+ year old component just doesn't snap. -
great
worked better than I thought

Best chip on the market
Love this chip! Easy to program and love having so many options for tunes. Highly recommended. My truck feels like a completely different truck now.

Quick shipping
I couldn't believe how fast I got tracking and it was shipped. Must have been within 2 hours. Received free shipping and delivered in 2 days. Only place that I found that stock the red option and didn't have to order it in. Works as advertised, great tuner and easy to load.

PHP HYDRA CHIP
Very happy thus far. Woke the old 7.3l right up. Easy to follow instructions and easy to install. I found removing the inner fender made it way easier to get at harness plug.

Hydra tuner
BUY THIS! Its an awesome product! Firm quick shift, holds boost and rpm well. I will probably order the extension ribbon cable so I can mount where I want to instead of limited by the 3 foot ribbon cable it came with. Programming is a cinch too! Completely different truck, 4 inch exhaust, 6637 filter and AIH delete were the only things done before getting the chip. Do not hesitate any longer if you have a 7.3.
Only thing I wish was different is the display was a little brighter as when it is sunny out it can be hard to read, but moving it when I get the ribbon extension may take care of that. -

Hydra PHP Tuner, late shipping
So I can’t technically review this as I haven’t gotten it yet since usps really dropped the ball. However my expectations are high and everyone says the hydra is the best of the best for 7.3s. I can also say that the customer support at riffraff diesel is beyond excellent. Very quick replies and nice people. Only complaint is I wish they shipped with anyone but usps.
