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.
