Sambo. far as I can tell the holden "bucket" is a sorta surge tank ( ie retain fuel around the intake) with the pump, regulator and the fuel return all included.

I'm told a largish hole in the top of the tank and insert it in..seal up, attach the engine feed fuel line and that's it....all done.

Reading the LS1.com site seem to imply that it's good for engines with bolt on mods but lacking with opened engines. I don't know what the HSV's have to feed a healthy LS2 but if it is similar then I'm happy.

Lots of the others have got this unit feeding a separate tank then with a bigger pump, filter and regulator feeding the engine.

I dunno if all that is worth it given that it appears many unopened Holden SS and HSV's are running healthy 1/4's with standard pumps.

I'm still investigating but currently feel that maybe the use of this "bucket" together with a larger diameter fuel line than standard to the engine may be sufficient. ie. more fuel under the same pressure. I think the standard fuel line is 3/8 or 8AN.

Or....

Get a bucket from a wrecker and install a higher capacity pump.

Dunno yet...maybe some of the better informed will comment.
