Default Fuel pump basket for large pump

I am going to run a single Walbro 535 pump for a car I am building (Datsun 280z) with a turbo 5.3. Car will be using a plastic 2001 fbody tank. I have seen all the information about modifying the stock plastic bucket. Is this still the best way? Do any vendors offer a pre-modified bucket solution? Or is there a better mousetrap altogether?

Thanks

Anyone? I read that racetronix sells an upgraded bulkhead fitting that can carry up to 30 amps, is that standard on newer buckets?
