Stock 2012 puts out 187 to the rear wheel. Mine is putting out 205HP. When I ran it in 3rd gear I got consistant at 224 HP.
I looked for something that shows before and after installation of the CAI and exhaust. Do you have a chart for before?
That data is needed if you want to know how much you gained.

Nitrous should not be used. It's good for drag racing but bad off road. Since yo need to have wide open throttle when nitrous is on.

First I did the superchips flashpaq 87 tune and noticed a difference. I then added a Banks Ram air CAI and I think (operative word) that made a difference. I then added an MBRP ss off road cat back exhaust. I felt like I lost low end torque and it was louder than I personally wanted. I took it off and reinstalled the stock exhaust and like it much better with just the superchips and CAI. So, if I had to do all over again and could only afford one of the above then I choose Superchips.

Similar experience here. I did however get some improvement by putting a reducer on the tailpipe of my Dynomax muffler, dropped down to 2" to get some low end back Quieted it down also

Forced air... nothing compares. However, once you have driven a twin screw SC vehicle the only thing that compaires is a turbo deisel. Ripp is a nice product, but I don't like centrifugual blowers on DD's, tow rigs or trucks.
