The major impact on the rpm in flight will come from the prop unloading. That has way more effect than anything the airstream does.

Ram air effect is rather insignificant. It's been tried by many, many modelers. The prime mover of the air that goes through an engine is atmospheric pressure. Unless of course, you hang a supercharger on the sucker.
