x2 I had the exact same troubles with my edlebrock cage. Never knew why until this thread came up. I did what dznucks did and went back to a round style solid top.
FWIW I run K&N on everything I own. I believe they clean much better then a paper filter especially in the dust (jeeps, dirtbikes, etc)
For you off road guys, a prefilter (panty hose works very well) is something else to consider.
