Default Air cleaner help

What air cleaner bottoms can I use with this?http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

I'd like as big of a drop base as I can get. Problem is current one pushes down on the primaries accelerator pump, reducing some of its efficiency. Not drastically killing the car, but a big pain none the less. So which drop base can I use that won't cause this same problem? It's on a 454 with an ls6 intake if it matters.

I ended up buying a complete 14 inch Edelbrock chrome drop base setup and am just using the bottom plate with a K&N Air Filter and XTreme top.

Can't remember off hand, but I think it was a 1" drop.

Take a look at the stock LS-6 and L-88 bases. Lots of drop on those. Here is an L-88 base:

I'm pretty sure thats what I have. Like I said the front sits a little too low, and partially pushes down on the primary shooter. Any idea what the actualy drop is? If I know that I can step it back a little and should be ok.
