If you include the float bowl vents into the ram air system, then the fuel/air balance will be consistent and you won't be blowing any fuel out of the float bowl or screwing up the jetting.
The only issue that may come up is the fuel delivery to the float bowl. Our system is gravity fed, and there isn't much fuel pressure as there is a very short height difference between the fuel tank and the float bowl. For water every 2.3 feet of height difference delivers 1 psi of pressure, and fuel is lighter than water so the pressure will be a bit less. I am not near my bike right now to measure - but the height difference with a full tank is probably a bit more than a foot.....and a tank that is near the fuel reserve is likely only about half a foot. The Savage is likely operating at somewhere around 0.5 - 1 psi - which is why the fuel just trickles out the fuel hose into the carb.
If you get too much ram air effect you may need to include the ram air into the fuel tank as well by getting a California fuel tank and cap that has a vent tube built into the tank and a cap without a vent.
In the end I really bet this is just a fashion statement and will offer very little performance gain on a Savage.
