does anyone know of a good respectable shop that can do a tune on my truck near the Asheville NC area. i don't mind driving a couple hours or so. i use it for towing, just need a little more power . it has flow master exhaust and a k&N air filter. otherwise stock.

If exhaust is the only major mod you've done then I see no reason you couldn't go with a mail order tune from Black Bear Performance. You'll feel an improvement for sure and the truck won't have any down time as they send you a tuned PCM before you send yours back to them (or keep it and pay the core charge, your choice). If you were doing a cam swap or other significant mods then I'd understand wanting to get it tuned in person, but Black Bear can really wake up these trucks in stock form. Here's a link to their site, it's around $360 for a tune from them.

Took our Colorado up there years ago, and he did a ride along tune, while I drove. Really woke that truck up. Went there with 3 other trucks, and got a group discount of $100 each.

They don't tune GMT400 trucks as far as the Black Box ECM goes. I 0411 swapped my 96 K2500 and they're able to tune it that way.

I was afraid of that, but wanted to throw it out there.
