      What is the Hydra chip?

      The Hydra is a plug in performance chip that provide engine optimized tuning directly to your 7.3 Powerstroke through the PCM data port. A chip that modifies the stock programming to give you more power by changing the injection timing and fuel delivery all within safe limits of the truck's capabilities. Offering up to 17 positions of performance that can be changed on the fly (while the truck is running) as driving conditions change. For example, when you're towing in the normal tow 80hp setting and you come to a long steep grade, you can lower the programming to a setting like 60hp that keeps temperatures in check until you reach the top. 

      The Hydra features a digital LED switch that shows what position the chip is currently running as well as the power level. The hydra plugs into the computer with a flat ribbon cable that runs to the dash. The dash mounted LED switch is your controller for choosing your driving or towing program. 

      Tuning options: 
      Tune it yourself (Send blank) Pretty simple with a pc computer. 
      Tune 6 - We put on the 6 most popular tunes

      Hydra Chip
      Hap Reitz | November 5th, 2021
      Opened up a whole new world for my 7.3. I simply hate the stock tune in so many ways and the Hydra Chip is just what the truck needed to wake it up. The guys at CP are very cool characters to talk to and very knowledgeable on the products they sell. Excellent customer service.

      This chip is awesome. You can really tell your truck has seven! Point. three! liters. No more, is she a dog when pushing the skinny peddle. My truck rips now!
      Perfect upgrade

      This hydra chip really woke up my truck more than I was expecting. The install was straight forward and the product was really well built. Make sure you take your time cleaning the connections on the computer, it makes a world of difference if you only have to take the computer out once .
