Tuner Help

What would be the better option for a "stock" truck with exhaust cold air spacer and gears, with 35 inch tires? All i want to do is adjust speedo, tire size, gears that sorta thing. Any CHEAP idea's its going to be 200 ish through the dealership and local shops to recalibrate the speedo and I am in need of a simple solution! lol Thanks

200? Through the dealer?
Ouch!
The dealer here charges 80 for tire size change.
IDK?
New programmers are around 400 for reputable ones.
I suppose there are less expensive programmers out there.
Try looking for a used one?

Ya thats kinda what I am fishing for at the moment lol, The local shop here uses a radar gun to gauge "actual" speed and tunes/adjusts the speedo down to proper speed in the trucks "brain". According to the no mind manager I talked to about it, who changed the price 3 times in 15minutes that i discussed the adjustment with him. I am dealing with a local guy who has a tuner, CAI, and throttle body spacer just haven't negotiated a price with him, lacking contact at this point. If anyone has one they are looking to get rid of for a reasonable price I am interested, I would prefer the dash mount style but even a hand held will do the trick

Forget the TBS, does nothing for a fuel injected engine. You won't get full benefit from the CAI unless you get custom tunes. That means Gryphon or an SCT product. I'm assuming this is for the 2000.
