Oh, yes, did I say that I never (except for test) use the ram air feature in flight?
Greg,
 
Too bad.  At your cruise speed ram air could give you a gain of 1.5+ inches of MAP. It's for free.  Let's see, approximately (RPM x MAP)/constant = HP.  In other words, the plane is flying at a less draggy higher latitude whilst the engine is flying 1500 feet lower.

Free power is cheap.
