The Hydra is compatible with those tunes.

Wow. I thought six was a lot.

BigAlsPSD · Oct 23, 2012

Although I don't see the need for the number of tunes, some do though, the flash idea, and leaving the chip in place seems very convenient for updates/tweaks.

Groovy Chick · Oct 23, 2012

Frankly, it has been our experience that most customers find 2-3 tunes they like and use them 90% of the time. However, we've been offering the FU chip for a few years now, and customers seem to really like the idea of having access to all of our standard tunes for their trucks. We've also offered hybrid tunes (ex: Whisper Mode / 80 Daily Driver) so that our customers could make the most from the six positions that the TS chip offers. Now, they don't have to make that choice!

The Hydra Chip encompasses many things that we wanted to give to our customers:

a fair price
access to all of our standard tunes
the ability to reburn their chips without having to remove them from the PCM
eliminated the need to ship chips back and forth when changes are necessary
free super-easy-to-use software to burn their chips

We're also working on some additional chip features that customers will be able to access for free online as they become available.

When will it be available? I want one

Groovy Chick · Oct 23, 2012

Due to numerous customer calls wondering the same thing, we actually created the order forms today for customers to pre-order the Hydra Chip. Orders will be shipped November 1.

Thank you for your interest!

Corey, would I be able to get the Will Iott dyno tune ......

Hopefully you or Bill will remember him.

Derek@Vision Diesel · Oct 24, 2012

So this can be used with your guys tuning as well as anyone none DP related correct?

For instance can a guy load 5 Tony Wildman tunes, 4 PHP tunes, and 3 Cale Thompson tunes if he has them all saved on his computer?

Just trying to make it more clear for those that may be interested! I absolutely love the product idea, we will be ordering soon.

EXACTLY! (Pretty cool idea, huh?)

Dealers who have their own tunes that they've written or paid for can burn them onto the Hydra, too.

Thanks for posting!

Sure do remember Will. Was it two years this summer? Anyway... don't want to think about the sad. I never got to meet him in person, but we spoke on the phone many times, and I liked him a lot.

I'm sure Billy still has Will's dyno tune.
