how cheap? remember one rule, that cheap is never good.
what are you plans?
very cheap is NOS do a cat delete and spray away.... but how long will it last ??? who knows.
or put gauges on the truck like EGT, Fuel Press,and Boost - thats anywhere from 300 to 600$
get an exhaust system for cheap 300$ to 1000 for a full blown Stainless steel 304 system
than get a Phalanx tuner from Spartan 1000$
or SCT X3 with ID tunes or Elite tunes 500$
but than you might need EGR cooler delete and headbolts, depending if you going to do you work 1000$ for parts to 3500-4000$ if you have somone ealse do it.

its your choice

or do like i did , just load SCT with tunes and take your chances LOL. the truck runs like bat out of hell....

First of all, with 37" - s, the main and most important thing would be for him to re-gear the truck. Rolling on 37-s is really hard on the tranny, and any mods on the power side would multiply his chances to damage the transmission, and how I read your post I see that he already does that. Just think about how much performance would he gain with 33" tires, because one rotation of those are more than one foot shorter, than a rotation of a 37". Of coarse the truck looks "cool" with big tires, that's why his best choice would be the re-gearing.
I don't think that any "cheap" mods will do something noticeable for him.
