Madman is correct, go get it scaled.
If you can’t get to it soon, try doing this;
Unhook driver side link
Sit car on level ground in race trim
Sit in the car with all your race gear
Have someone adjust the right rear end link so it will line up with hole with no preload.
This is only a band-aid until you get it scaled

Thanks dude, i'm not complaining, I just wanna get her to come out even and also gotta get her not to treck left and be consistant in her 60's, cuz sometimes she'll dead hook and go bottom 1.3's and others it's a little spin and bottom 1.4's, I want bottom 1.3's to 1.2's all the time!

Here's another still shot and video, she looks straight from the front, but no back shot too see if she's straight back there.

I have never seen my front twist. If it spins mine doesn't lift the tires. My car has a 12 bolt with a true trac in it.

Yes, I scaled it myself.
I borrowed some scales from the airport.

Dude, I just noticed something else this morning while I was under there adjusting the swaybar. I just sent my rear qa1's out to be rebuilt and only raced with them last weekend and a little street driving and there's a bunch of oil all over the right rear shock, not sure if it's oil from the shock though. I'm gonna be pissed if the shock is messed up, I just got them back. How can I tell if the shock is screwed and if I have to send it back to them?

Here is a couple of videos of mine launching:
