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

free-shipping.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!

    I like what you have done, in a non invasive way. Smooth install, can be done with a desktop CPU

    Best option period

    Posted by Erik Hughes on Apr 19th 2020

    I am so glad I upgraded to the hydra from my TS chip. Why did I wait so long? This is how all chips should be, log in, download whatever you want at no cost, and you dont even have to remove the tuner to do it. Fast shipping, and great customer service from Riffraff when I had an install question. If you arent running a hydra dont wait, I wish I had done this long ago.

    Quick Ship, Great Performance

    Posted by Paul Jackson on Apr 14th 2020

    Placed my order at 11am, surprised to see a tracking email at 11:45 checked that evening and it was already shipped even though I used the free shipping option. 2 days later it was at my door and installed. Really woke my 2001 7.3L up, and the shifting is great.

    Power Hungry Performance Hydra Chip

    Posted by Chris Thompson on Apr 14th 2020

    Big improvement over the SC 1705 tuner I was using and the DP Tuner PCM flash I was using before that. Easy install. Great free tunes are easily uploaded to the chip. Optional custom tunes available from PHP or many other tuners. Of course, excellent support from Riffraff and PHP.

    Excellent kit!

    Posted by Ian Owen on Mar 14th 2020

    You will be shocked at the difference of performance even at the low level tunes. This kit comes with every thing you will need to install the chip and program. If you have any questions this company has a very detailed install video. One thing i will add, wright down your PCM code while you have it out of the truck!

    Great upgrade!

    Posted by Garth on Feb 16th 2020

    Great product that really allows you to get the most out of your truck. From performance settings that make city driving much easier to tow settings that maintain the power and change the shift points. Can’t attest to mpg improvements because it’s hard to keep your foot out of it it’s so fun to drive! One more thing, PHP is Microsoft based so loading/changing tunes can’t be done with a Mac only laptop. Clay preloaded 1023 tunes on my chip to avoid this being an issue for me. Riff Raff customer for life!

    Install was pretty easy. I went to youtube to really see how it was done. The extra extension cord is a gem.
    When cutting the hole for the ribbon and usb to come out of the pcm case, i used a dremel - made a nice clean hole.
