The taller filter will provide zero benefit. The K&N 3002 is a huge upgrade and designed (pleat count and height wise) for a V-8. Larger filter just adds oil volume, which isn't always a good thing. A longer filter does not equate to better filtration for those following this.

Filtration and flow has a fine balance to it especially depending on the engine app - you can not have 100 % filtration to maintain 100 % flow just as you can not have 100 % unrestricted flow to maintain 100 % filtration. A happy balance point is between the 2. You can not have the complete best of one without hurting the other.
