Money question

All right, so I read all about how happy guys are with their tuners- DP, TW or whatever. I really want one, but want to decrease likelihood of damaging my tranny, so I guess I need a BTS VB too. However, I am 17 and really don't have a ton of money. I would use it for fun, and for towing, mostly a horse trailer. Is there any way to save some money in getting these products, or are there any cheaper alternatives? Oh, I already have gauges.
Thanks,

sometimes the guys have one for sale in the classifieds and you can find one there a little cheaper.

If you call the guys that sell the chips they will give very good info on there products.and can set tunes for your needs.

That are put 10 to 20 bucks away each week now and buy yourself one for x-mas.I know thats a long way off when your 17 but you will learn alot on here in the mean time.
