Induction which is better
Ram air is pretty much always beneficial. The effects are felt at higher speeds... The general feeling about CAIs, with racers anyway, is that they make a very marginal difference. A good setup is either the stock or aftermarket inlet tube with bigger MAFM (~80MM) and a conical filter right there.

Ram air is a myth untill over 160 mph on pretty much any engine (where the pressure finnally overcomes the vacume and is in equiliberum, or overcomes it).
Ram air is just a CAI witha scoop. It's better though, because you take air that's not off the pavement or in the engine compartment, and get better responses above 50ish.
