I have an SCT 5Star tuner for my 2011 6.2; it did make it "peppier", but I lost about 1 mpg.

And the dam 1-2 up-shift at 3 MPH. That one really bugs me. Simply pulling ahead at a stop light or up my driveway it grabs 2nd. Cant imaging plowing like this. Tow haul mode fixes it but then the trans "brakes." Dont like that when Im not towing my trailer. My solution to date is to use the gear selector(the little button on the shift handle) and lock it down into 1st then shift it they way I want to vs Big Brother Henry's way. Would love to get into it and tune that out.
There is a good video of the SCT X3 & X4 tuners here and on you tube.
