Akitamike, nice ride! 
I was logging in to respond to this thread and then saw your PM so I'll reply here anyways:
1) I do not have the Supra LSD installed - although it will be one of my mods down the road
2) SRT intake is going in next week - I have an appointment with them. I have heard good things about the performance, not so good about the noise but that will be why I will be doing my cat-back exhaust after the intake so I can quiet things down a bit if I have to
3) SS Headers are next with the Dragon TC after intake and exhaust. Someone here (Jibby I think?) had a hell of a time getting them installed on his SC4, albeit a 92 - look for the thread in the Engine & Transmission section. Might be the same for us 98+ guys? I think they were originally developed with the GS4's in mind, a la the SRT intake
And now a question of my own: how is the performance pre and post Dragon TC upgrade? Is it worth the moolah?

1. Supra LSD is a 3.13 ratio and the 98sc's have a 3.26 i believe. Im still contemplating that idea.
2. One guy did it. It doesnt fit perfectly, the piping hits the radiator i think.

3. www.ektuning.com they make a header for sc400's. So far, i think they are a new company that makes really darn good welds. they are a bit pricey compared to the ss, but quality looks better, fitment is better (i hope). The ss headers fit the block, but not anything after. Wut jibby did was he deleted the 2 precats and ran from there.
How do u like the dragon TC? im thinking of getting lextreme's www.lextreme.com cause it's alot cheaper and hopefully they work the same.
and how many miles do u have on your car? i bought mine in april w/ 26,000

Megadeth, nice to see another 98+ guy chirp in...I'm loving that white SC
Re: the lextreme TC - I thought about it but decided the Dragon might be worth the extra bucks. I guess I'll find out soon enough.
My SC is at just over 52K miles but it's a Lexus CPO'd car so
