I do not ercommend the KKM or any other type of filter that has an inverse coned end.

Get a large mouth K&N.
Hoosier's idea of a non flanged Pro-M is not bad. It will free up another inch of length for the filter without any other changes. I suspect the price is the same for the flanged or non-flanged too so then it would also save you buying a MAF adapter. (Though you would have to buy a $200 Pro-M {which is worth it IMO} and have 19lb injectors)
What is it about the Pro-M that makes it worth $200 (or $137+shipping ) I'm guessing that it allow a greater volumer of air over stock...and the built in electronics handle this better.....yes? I've got OBDI, there shouldn't be any compatibility issues, right.....it's the same connectors,etc.
