either an inline tuner or a tuning suite such as hptuners or efilive is going to give you the best bang for the buck.

Try looking over here: http://www.deiselplace.com There you will find lots of info on the Duramax. The first mod I did was upgrade my exhaust but it depends on what he wants to do with his truck.

Get him an exhaust, tuner, then an intake, The factory intake is not terribly restictive, but every bit helps.
