Default Potential gifts

As many of you know, I'm still in high school, so my income is . I've got some money to get a local guy to tune my truck for me. So the holidays and birthday(close together) are the only times i really can get stuff(money or gifts) to put on the truck.

My question, is what would be fairly cheap and easy things i could ask for?

Since the truck is bone stock, except for a 40 series, and a spectre "cold" air intake, I was thinking maybe Efans, servos, shift kit, and small stuff like that too.

Suggestions please

Converter and shift kit/servo.

That will be a bit expensive for xmas/birthday (or at least for me haha), so you'll prob have to throw in some money on it as well.

or a nitrous kit.

Considering my parents are funding a $3k trip for me next summer, some around higher than 400 is most likely out of the question.

****, I didn't know that you were just a kid...if you keep up at this rate you'll be a Master by the time you're my age lol

The Circle-D TB converter is $375...then you just have to tune the computer for it...

The regular TB converters are like 150 new i think and flash to 26 - 2800. What's the difference with the reworked ones by circleD

Sweet, I'm not officially yet, but soon to be!

I'm thinking if I got a mail order tune I'd get a logging cable tune from blackbear. Just seems to me like for the money it'd be worth the extra accuracy
