Got an old trampoline ladder today after I helped take one apart and recycle it.

Basically perfect for all the people that go to get in my truck and ask where the steps are. Going to be painting them black tomorrow.

answers my good old question. To port? Or not to port? that's a big ol' NO! its throttle body will be polished, heck maybe even upgraded to something a little bigger.
