I have a 92 Lexus SC400/Soarer V8 and i reckon the trans under normal driving shifts rather early. No problem going to red line with full throttle, but for example when turning say a 30km/h corner when re applying acceleration will still be in third, so for a half decent acceleration out of the corner will require almost three-quater acceleration. Is this normal with V8 Soarers or do i need to adjust something.....

Sounds to me one of your shifting solenoids could be buggered.
You could try adjusting the TPS cable on the TB, or doing an ECU reset, they might make your car a bit more lively.
I'd start with resetting the ECU and doing some hard starts to get the ECU learning to hold a gear for a more aggressive drive and kicking down more readily.
