One that the base is actually lower than the top of the TB or Carb...

Not sure why there would be negative comments...I recall years ago Moroso had a 7 HP increase using their dropped based vs. a regular one.

Besides, I think that all the TBI and Carb'ed F-bodiy's use a dropped base aircleaner for clearance purposes anyways.

A 3 inch drop base air cleaner will perform worse that a regular 3 inch air cleaner. Because the air has to go up and then back down into the carb/tbi. However, you aren't going to fit a regular 3 inch air cleaner on a thrid-gen with a stock hood.
