open air element

Im still confused on some things after reading previous open element post.First is it better to use the flat base or dropped, and if dropped do I use the 1 1/4 or 7/8. Another question is that some people say leave the iat out and away from metal and others say put it in the air cleaner. Which is best and is there a dif?

Re: open air element

This is the drop assembly I'm running:

Doesn't list the measurements, but fits fine. I drilled a hole in the underside and screwed the IAT in. Right now I've plugged the vacuum line that used to run to the assembly but I plan on hooking it back up when I have the time to drill some more. Had no issues with it, and that includes some "spirited" test drives.
