Would you please define fresh air hood. Or is it simply the availability of fresh air to the engine? Or do they separate ram air cars an example would be is a 400 from a ram air judge considered a fresh air engine.

Even if the scoop opening needs to be blocked off, it might an advantage due to a better intake manifold design.
