Default 4.27 Gear in '99 GS3

I'm not sure if this is in the right forum but what, if any, years SC3 came with the 4.27 with a LSD? I have thought about the 4.08 LSD from the Supra, but don't think that will be that much of a difference from the 3.92, besides the LSD. Can I use the 4.08 from the Supra and the final drive from the SC3 if none of the 4.27s came with a LSD. I used the chart from an earlier post I found by slowdiver. Also, I've heard the 97-98 Supras are weaker than the earlier ones. Can anyone confirm this and to what hp rating could I expect out of each? I'm sure more than I plan to make with my car, just curious! Also, are the MK3 Supra LSDs a no go?

Anybody know? I thought I had read somewhere the '95 had LSD; not sure though. Please move this to transmission, etc. section if it's in the wrong forum currently . Thanks.

Yeah, I posted it there, too. I'm not sure if anyone knows or just wants to keep it a secret. I thought I read somewhere on here that the carrier can be swapped in these housings (assuming all the ones listed are basically the same), so I was thinking of swapping the Supra LSD carrier into the SC3 housing/pumpkin with the 4.27 gear. The Supra one has the 4.08, but I would like to have lower gear ratio.
