I found this article which is not kind to K&N, but says they are much less restrictive.

  That is because an oiled K&N filter element has way less air flow than
  a paper filter element.

  On the K&N filter web site there are suggestions on air filter area,
  and it looks like they think we need a lot bigger filters, like 100 sq
  in?  That would be about 5 inches high a for a 14 inch diameter filter.

    I believe I have the standard Mustang version of the Blue Thunder
    (angled carb pad).  I'll double check tonight.  Also, I believe I
  have
    an earlier engine screen (it's all screen and slopes down at the
    window.
    The air filter is a Hall drop base air filter with the cast aluminum
    "Pantera" script lid.  I did try a stamped lid as well without
  success.
    Cheers!

    Garth,
    WHICH Blue Thunder intake do you have? The standard Mustang version
  or
    the Pantera version?
    I had to change to a different air cleaner to get it to fit under my
    screen when I put new rubber engine mount donuts in. With the old
  ones
    my existing Hall/K&N fit fine. I had to get a different, thinner lid
    with the new mounts as it raised the engine a tiny bit....

    I have a Blue Thunder intake on my Pantera at the moment with a
  Holley
    670 Avenger carb and NO carb spacer, and the drop base air cleaner
  does
    NOT fit under the stock screen.
    Cheers!

  Dan,
  Excellent write up, but you forgot that of the intakes tested the blue
  thunder w
  as among the best, and it DOES fit under the stock screen....
