Default Torque Steer Type Feeling on Accel.?

I have a 2005 with just over 1000 miles. I have added; AEM Short Ram - Borla Exhaust - Maxfab 3" DP - Removed 2 1/4" section at front of Borla - Stage 1 PCM - Stage 2 WG - MSD Coil & Wires - NGK Iridium Plugs @ .040 - Octane Booster for CA 91 gas.- Prothane Red Motor Mount Inserts. My Butt Dyno says I have a lot more HP than stock. I have noticed something lately somewhat like Torque Steer in a Muscle Type Car? When I hit the throttle hard in 2nd gear my car turns slightly to the left and then to the right? My GF said "Why are you steering like that?" but I am holding the wheel firmly and in a centered position. The amount of turn is not great but is noticable and a little scary!
Do all SRT-4's do this? Is it caused by my Limited Slip Diff. shifting power back and forth from one wheel to another? I will certainly be carefull in wet weather,

Surprisingly I get none. Ive been in my car with my best friend driving, and it doesn't pull either way at all. My only performance mods are 3" Custom exhaust (no cat no res), AEM Shortie, and Stage 1 (well Mopar Noisemaker too but that doesn't count).

And yet still....nothing. The only thing my car does, is if your taking a corner from a dead stop and get on it as if your cutting someone off the wheel will stick in that position until the throttle is released. My car is SUCH a crackbaby.....it does things it shouldn't, and what it should do, it doesn't.
