There is really no need for it with your current mods.
All you need is the Nelson tune. He dyno tunes GM trucks a lot with the same mods you currently have.
He'll send you a tune out to compliment your mods.
Just be ready to choose either a 87, 89, 93 oct tune. The 93 oct tune is the best.If you do the math, you really don't spent but $4.00 more at the pump for 93 oct fuel over 87 oct fuel on a complete fill up.
Then let him know if you want all TM removed or leave a little in the program.
It's all in what you want and how you will be using your truck.

i have heard that nelson tunes run any where from 500-600. BUT the guy i know (non-sponsor) will do a dyno/street tune for 150 bucks. ask around a dyno/street is better than mail order.

Nelson tune is $490.00 or less. Depends on truck year.
A cheap tune will usually get you get cheap results.
I'm for more experienced well known tuners.
Thats just my opinion.
