Ram-air or cold air intake?

Which would give the best performance:
self built cold air intake or ram air (the kind that the air comes from the bottom and not through the hood).
also i am interested in seeing any self built systems that anyone has on their car...
thanks

Cold air always helps.

Ram air is also cold air, but helps more at higher speeds (ramming air).

Ram Air can also suck up dirt & water & etc off the road, where a cold air wouldn't.
