14x3 is the biggest I've heard of fitting it a flat based air cleaner. A drop base one might fit a bigger filter but you won't get more power from it. The drop base air cleaner and stock spacer ring will really shroud the top of your TBI.

Why do you still have to use the spacer ring with the drop base? Does the housing hit something?

ya the throttle linkage. I tried 2 other open elements before I got the one I did. They were both edelbrock drop bases and I couldn't use them without with spacer ring.
