Thanks guys!! I just hate loosing!!!. i know my 1jz single turbo will take care of all my problems. for now i am going to try the BFI and deleting the cats, also replacing the oem mufflers for magnaflows or any of those that have better flow.
Why is it hard to accept that defeat?, that was my buddy's G35 we just came back from the dyno and he pot down to the wheels 225hp????....and 200fpt. that is the same as a modded out civic..lol....sad part is that i did have all my tools in the trunk and our cars are hevy as F$%^!!!!

Have you removed your wipers? Folded back your mirrors? Washed your windshield? Kept your windows up? Lowered rear tire pressure? Removed the rear and passenger seat and glove box and center console contents? Raced with near empty tank of fuel? Emptied your washer fluid? Just how silly do you want to get to race a LUXURY car? Wait until you do your swap.
LOL
I have a stock sc400 and it has enough power for my liking.
A good exhaust system and intake is as far as I would probably go.
At the end of the day it is a luxury car.
But good luck any which way you choose to go about it.

Wheel spin
"sad part is that i did have all my tools in the trunk "
Don't waste $$ on LSD. For two bucks put a sack of ready mix in the trunk next to the cd changer. Guaranteed to reduce wheel spin!
Repeat: Wait for the swap.....

How about a bigger TB (if there's any for this car) no cats, some straight 3 inch exhaust mandrel bent piping and tuning. I got a Honda and that mod (3 inch exhaust) is very popular with my type of engine, I suppose it will work for the SC400 as well, plus the CR is the almost the same as my Honda engine so I don't see why not.
