Make sure your alignment is as close as it can be and to be safe grab your self a tire pressure gauge as close it can be with accuracy. Also if you dont have a traction bar set-up make sure you get one, it helps out BIG TIME!!!

usually you have more control of the car without power steering in a high hp fwd... Id start with an alignment and checking tire pressure..Regardless, you'll never be able to get rid of all the torque steer but it definitely shouldn't be as bad as you describe..

Invest in an LSD, your always gonna have one wheel, wanting to pull the car left an right. MFactory seems to make a pretty nice LSD, Looks like a Quaife for half the price cant go wrong.

Also look into if the car has been in an accident, and check your alignment, GL

How are you bushings in your front end? There is something causing it to pull. I dont believe it is the open diff causing this issue. My car was straight as an arrow on BFG's with 500whp on the street or the track(with and open diff).

quoted for emphasis, my friends hatch was 595whp on E85 daily w/ open diff and that [freak]in car was ALL OVER THE PLACE! Scary as hell


I run 550+ in my Teg Daily also on E85 with a Quaife and it gets hairy from time to time, but generally goes straight. Good luck finding the issue

are we talking about track or street?

street i wont talk about, my car drove straight as could be at the track and 500whp, on the street, on big 225 drag radials, and low power was all over the place w/a quaife

hope this helps
my answer to this is to much power on street is very easy to accomplish
i have traction bars and all

^^^^ I would like to add that alot of blacktop roads settle where the cars drive, so when you are in the gas the car goes all over the place as it jumps in and out of the grooves, especially Interstates, but when I went to the track I pulled pretty much straight and clean.....


OP the street is not the place to find out the issue really, take the car to a track or find a long patch of concrete to see if the car still pulls everywhere.
