Default Ok..options?

Alright...heres the deal. I am inheiriting some money...not too much but enough to pay off all my bills and have a nice little bank account untill I'm finished with college. Ok..here is my question. What would you guys do in my situation if you had about 1500-2000 dollars that you could use to buy anything for your truck performance wise? Take into mind I already have the following mods: K&N FIPK cai, dual flowmasters...ummm..thats it for performance mods. In reality I'm probably looking to spend about a thousand of it on my truck and save the rest for a rainy day. My question is if you have a grand to spend on a truck like mine what would you get for it?
Take into mind that I want to get as much for my money as I can, but I would be willing to spurge on something if it would benefit the most. thanks guys. -Tyler

That guy hasn't called me back...but the more that I toss it around the more I want to keep it. I'm gonna keep adding until I decide to sell it but right now I'm just kinda sitting on the fence with it..if you know what I mean.

If it was me, I would go performance over appearance. It doesn't have to look pretty, as long as it runs strong.

I was getting worried alot about the mileage on the truck..right now its at 95k. But I've had a couple of dodge mechanics tell me about how tight the engine is. They drove it and was like "damn that truck is stout", one five star mechanic told me that he had never drove a truck like mine that was as quick as mine. Kinda makes me want to keep it considering that I have never been even close to being beaten by another truck like mine...even with half the mileage. My dad also told me about this. He said "Why get rid of a truck like that when they are so hard to come by with that tight of an engine?"...Its starting to sink in now...but I might still sell it because of gas prices...but then again I probably won't cause I won't quit adding accesories[8D]. -Tyler
