I'd spend $300 of that on a Superchips Flashpaq from David at Northridge.

I wouldn't do the chip. I would stick with the programmer. Since the truck is lifted, you can get your speedo back in line. With the other $200, if you had to spend it, I would look at building an exhaust or doing a Evap cooler shield. The sheild runs about $100 and you should be able to build the exhaust for under $200. With the left over cash - buy some gas and go enjoy on a trail. Heck, bring a birthday cake and buddies and make it a party on the trail...

Thinking about it, you could do all 3 if you careful.

Well with a chip all you get is the "ONE" thing it does. The Superchip programmer does all kinds of different things...........AND will continue to make upgrades as time goes on.
You can get it, and say a flowmaster catback exhaust for "around" $500.

A bit more power, throttle response, "usually" better mpg, etc.... You should do a search on the Superchips Tuner so you can see for yourself what it has to offer just by itself. I have the Airaid CAI and the SC Tuner, and love them....I hope to install a different exhaust sometime soon. From what I've read it seems like when you combine the 3 it creates kind of a "sweet spot" for the 3.8 in the performance department.

Exhaust will make it sound louder. Hopefully not like a wet mouse fart, more like a dry bull fart instead. If done correctly, it will give you more low end torque. Used with the CAI and Flashpac, you will notice more power on the trails. The 3 just go hand in hand.
