Default torque steer

I have a stock 99 LS, with the exception of a neuspeed upper strut bar (front) and have been driving it relatively hard. In the last two days, the amount of torque steer has become quite an issue. It is almost pulling me into other cars. Any comments or help along those lines would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Bump becuase my torque-monster stock-LS does this too. Is this tire or suspension related?

are you doing 7000 RPM launches at redlights or something? lol

I also suggest an alignment and have your wheel balance checked, along with shocks.

I most certainly am not . My motor doesnt even rev that high It happens to me when I WOT it in first coming from a stop. I dont dump the clutch or really even launch that hard, i just do a normal start then floor that ************, then it usually pulls right and then left. I usually have to fight with the wheel to maintain a straight line. I know for sure that I DO need an alignment. I have to get one of those done soon.

I drive, from what it sounds like, like hotsuma, and yeah, just had my alignment done about 4 thousand miles ago (roughly a month ago), and checked my tire pressure earlier today.
