Default what diff should i weld?

I have a auto and manual diff.
- auto supra open diff
- auto sc300 open diff "in my car right now"
- manual sc300 open diff


what diff is worth welding and will give me more low end power?


i wanted to leave 1 diff not welded so i have a extra and i can drive on it for dd and just change it back to the welded one for drift fun.

The torsen lsd was offered in the Toyota Soarers but not in the Lexus SC's.

weld the 4.27. it won't be a great cruising diff, but you'll feel better pickup.

PM if interested.
