No stock lexus/toyota diff feels like mine did, trust me, it was pretty brutal
well aware of that mate but we're talking 90's Toyota here
Hehe yea man, cheers, i'm very familiar with the toyota/lexus diff's. When i said "stock toyota/lexus" i meant that the diff i had in my supra did come stock in some TT soarers/sc400s (the diff head in mine was actually from a soarer - i lucked out and got a TT auto supra with the open diff - bummer!)... though i didnt know any ls400's had the torsen option.
If yours is the later type (96+ i think) it should be a bit more progressive (not open/lock like mine was lol).
One thing i can think your car might benefit from is a 3.7 crown/pinion (real common), yours must be revving around 2400 at 60mph?... then again, your 5th gear is taller than the stock a340 iirc....
same situation here...its nice to see how much torque these engines produce...so with 30 psi >
.........
Was that gearbox designed to handle the torque and do you monitor the gear box oil temperature ? (read somewhere that it should be below 100 C. just like engine oil)......
This hasn't been the case for many years. The torque sensing diffs by Torsen, Detroit (TrueTrac) & Quaife do not free spin.

this is VERY nice man!
in how big a way does this change wiring?

Nice progress bro, when it came time to throw my battery into the trunk I epoxied my battery box (same black marine box u have) to the spare tire well and filled the floor up 6'' with great stuff expanding foam to keep the box to be moving around, and some added sound deadening. I decided to ditch the spare tire altogether... that's what AAA is for lol.
Any real ideas on when it should be tuned and ready to melt rubber?

Don't punch the Cats.
Sounds like you're running too much retard in your tining.
These things will make the cats glow with some retard as they send the burning fuel down the exhaust.
Look hard at your tinimg/cam phasing to see where the problem lies.
I would suspect you have a broken cam drive pin which is letting the cam timing move in relationship to the cam sprocket timing.
Been there done that!

If you want some advice skip the R154 and go straight for a T56 or the Tremec TKO600...more money in the short term but cheaper and less hasle in the long run.
At 20psi will will break the R154.
A used T56 (or better yet a TR6060) can be had for good money and no more trouible to fit than the R154.
A new Tremec is the way i went and no regrets at all...4 years of caning and not even the hint of a whine. Shifts great (better than the getrag 6 speed) and being new there's good piece of mind i wasn't inheriting a problem.
Yiou have spent money in all the right places so far, don't skimp now

MV said that it was good an rated it for 900HP............ I'd add a pinch of salt to that.
Like what Justen said, sniff around you will find a T56 cheap enough, if I were looking for a box that would be my choice now.
Here's one
