Default quick question, Si Pulls to the left under acceleration

okay so i was driving a 4dr Si and i noticed a huge pull to the left under acceleration. at first i thought it was the alignment, but after 2 alingments all is within spec, and it doesn't really pull when out of gear. now i'm thinking mabe differential??? what do you guys think???

do you have 2 of the same tires(size, model, equal tread) and equal air pressure

those should be the first things checked on any car for a pull

i think there is a service bulletin on this issue..i just looked it up and if you can go to your local dealership and ask them about the Service Bulletin 06-068 Vehicle Pulling or Drifting, they might be able to help you out...they might have to replace the tire

Only ones i've had do this at work is caused by unequal air pressure in the front tires.

brand new bfgoodrich kdw ta 245/45/18 i believe on 18x7.5, equal tire pressure. now i'm not saying its not torque steer, but its deffinatly not normal torque steer. i'm talking normal acceleration, 1/4 to 1/2 throttle, 4-5k rpms max, and a massive pull to the left under any load. anyone else???
