Where did you get the bases from?
Very nice job you did. 
I would think that finding the base is half the battle 
Well you gotta start somewhere.

Never bought in to the screen thing much. When I have to run at a dirty track, I do this:
Fastest 300

Any kind of filter at all would hurt the air flow,hurt the hurt air flow kill the HP.  
On a street/strip car Yes I see a need for one.
I'm sure at some power level the air filter does become a restriction...but I've tested on a dyno up to about 600 hp with and without a 3" K&N style air filter with a drop base on multiple occasions and found no power loss with the filter.

Did you re-jet to see if you were at true max power...
ALL filters have a restriction its just a matter
of how much... I use to flow air cleaners(and the
housings) for Chrysler.... we would try different
filter elements in the same housing then we would
try different shapes of housings... it ALL makes
a difference... some are just small differences

Sometimes that small difference can be what wins you the race. 
Very true if you race all out, but for a bracket racer
its not critical... basically the air cleaner/housing
is no different than the head port itself... a little
shape change here or there makes a difference
