VAP Windstar Kit


I was browsing the forums, and came across the VAP Windstar Kit for the v6 mustang, and i have a few questions.
1-I was planning on buying a bbk cai, and steeda underdrive pulleys soon. If i do, will i be able to use the Kit will these mods still fit right, or will i need to remove them?
2-Will gas mileage be affected any?

the BBK CAI will not work. the VAP kit includes a new cold air kit. as far as gas mileage, it really depends on how heavy you are on your foot. the purpose of the kit is increasing intake runner length to help cool the IAT and gain more possible hp/tq. plus your losing weight by switching to it and its plastic so that could help with cooling even further.

read the specs on their website. they make great products and also look into the intake spacer while your at it

also, since it comes with the cai, it should improve mpgs under normal driving conditions...

i didnt know either, but i was lookin on their site maily to see what kind of suspension they have for the 6er, but found the udps and now i plan on buying them.
not sure about getting the spacers then. really want them, but dont have the money for a hood on top of the windstar kit and spacers...
still need to do exhaust, the upds, and i only have $500 right now...

ya, thats what im gonna do, just looked at hoods, and i wouldnt have enough money to get a primed hood. so it will be sitting in my garage for a couple months, and i will be rollin stock.
gonna get exhaust, and udps, then start saving for the windstar kit (and tloc).

If you look at the pics you can clearly see that the throttle body is nowhere near the same location. If you read up on the product description it tells you if it will fit under the hood.

Ive found where it says individually, there will be no problems with fitting under the hood, but nowhere on the site have i found that it says both the intake and the spacer will fit under the hood. ive also heard that many people do have trouble getting both to fit.
