The VFN 3 inch SS hood doesn't not have a functional ram air. Its mainly for asthetics and weight savings. It does however have a cowl so it would act as an engine cooling agent. Air would enter through the scoop then exit out the cowl, by doing this the cool air will pass over then engine and in essance pull some heat with it.
