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!

    HYDRA for OBS 7.3

    Posted by Jeff Martinez on Oct 1st 2022

    Installed the Hydra on my 97 F-350 7.3 PSD and man did it make a huge and noticeable difference. I started the project a few months back by installing the KC balanced assembly on a delete pedestal to solve the annoying oil leaks on this 25 year old truck. Turbo response was instantly smoother and more linear. Just installed the Hydra to recapture performance lost when my old Banks equipment began to fail after many years of solid service. Installation was simple and programming the chip with available tunes for the 7.3 with no major mods was straightforward. I'm favoring the 65 Hp Daily Driver tune as my normal go to program. It has transformed my truck from a lethargic slug into a crisp and peppy truck that is fun to drive again. Also installed the Hydra on my 2000 Excursion with good effect, but the results on the OBS were over the top. Next comes e-fuel and a RSK. Riffraff's selection and service are second to none.

    PHP Hydra Install

    Posted by Ryan on Sep 3rd 2022

    00 f250 4x4 with 58k miles. The Hydra chip is amazing. Stop thinking about it and buy it! Riff Raff Diesel is the best! Pay attention to the instructions and watch several videos.

    '97 OBS 7.3 PSD - PHP Hydra - Wow

    Posted by Mark on Aug 20th 2022

    I had a TS 6 position chip on my truck for quite some time and it never seemed to work right and I put it on the back. I recently decided to try another chip, did my research and decided on the PHP Hydra from Clay at Riff-Raff Diesel and then wished I had not waited so long. I've got just over 225K and could tell she was getting tired, this truck has not run this good since I purchased it in '09. The free tunes were easy to download and program and could not believe how much it woke the truck up. Now I cannot wait to do some upgrades to get some custom tunes

    Hydra chip

    Posted by Charlie on Aug 5th 2022

    Great chip, easy to install. Wakes the truck up and makes it perform like it should’ve from the factory. Currently running 80 HP daily tune and will be doing custom tunes soon enough. Truck is a CCSB 7.3L with a ZF6.
