Peter's skimmer wins the cubic inches contest hands down. It isn't one of these sissy European metric 3.0 litres. It's a 454 cubic inch big block rat, bored .60 over with a blower, no elegant turbo. Emptying the skimmer qualifies as a water change.
The venturi valve bubble maker is an older technology that has been left behind, but it will perform well stock. I would run it for a few months to get an idea of how it performs, then jack it up on blocks on the front lawn and put in an ATB or Sequence needlewheel pump. The latter will keep it American made.
