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!

Wake up your 7.3!
I don't know why Ford didn't send it out this way to begin with! Bought the Hydra from RiffRaff, as they are my parts "go to" for Bessie(my '02 7.3 SCSB 4x4). Loaded the canned tunes for my VDH4 PCM, installed the chip per the directions and with the help of a couple YouTube videos, and went for a drive. Really woke up the truck, throttle response is easily controlled, gets to illegal speeds much quicker, shifts were firmer, but not hammering either. Overall, very satisfied with the Hydra, and always satisfied with RiffRaff. I'll be doing a valve body and Wicked Wheel/4' turbo back soon, so will probably be looking at 1023 or JeliBuilt for custom tunes.

Fast Shipping
Easy to load the tunes I wanted for my 01 7.3L, lots of them to choose from. Fast shipping as well, I had a tracking number in like an hour and it was at my door 2 days later.

PHP CHIP
Fairly easy to install, love the performance aspect. My ECM code only had a limited amount of options but it was enough to get what I needed. I would definitely recommend this product to my friends.

Hydra
Very good product with excellent support from php. The software is easy and intuitive to use. My recommended hex code tunes weren't what I was hoping for, so I was a little underwhelmed at 1st. An email to php, and they had a different hex code to try. This was what my truck needed, runs flawlessly with the correct hex codes.

Hydra tuner
Install was fairly straightforward. Silicone dipped connectors cleaned up no problem and worked like a charm. Only thing i didnt like was the options for the tunes, as they didnt have the modified valve body on the list i got online based on the number i submitted from my box. Which was considering i seen it on so many of the other ones. My 7.3 is a 2000 so im able to go upto 140hp tune. All of the performance tunes roll alot of coal lol. But the 80 daily driver which i typically use doesnt and the difference is negligible anyway. Bottom line awesome chip with fairly straightforward install as well as updating and programming. Thanks riff raff great product
