So how are you supposed to do a 180? Should I look into LCA's and a PH?

May be an aftermarket set of LCAs and springs will help to quell it.

The rear axle wants to twist forward when you get on it, the LCA's, and the Torque Arm keep the axle in place, otherwise your axle would spin out from underneath you, and the drive shaft would come with it.

On a side note, can I remove this little plastic cover over where my throttle cables go to my TB? So I can rev the motor from under the hood? Or is there another way to do it.

and before you say anything, yes, you are right, no normal human could fuckup a lt1 just by removing the throttle cable cover, but you........ well you're McDouche
I just got back from installing the stat and removed that cover to check for a broken motormount... Everything checked out aok... I almost did the TB bypass while I was in there, but didn't feel like messing with it now... Maybe later. I think this 1000 bucks I've got coming to me in April will go into some LCA's, a PH bar, and a TA... UMI tubluar stuffs pretty good right?
I was screwing around at a gasstation, this guy was asking me about my car and all, So I had the hood popped, and reved it via the throttle body for him, he loved it, but also commented on how much it moves... So how much SHOULD the motor move when givin a decent rev?
Wow, going WOT in **REVERSE** ????? 
How much should your motor move? I'm thinking straight to the car dealer so you can trade it in on something a little more your speed. I heard Kia has great deals ...

With all the power your LT1 is making it should just about jump out of the damn car. I would take out the motor mounts and use a heavier grade bolt and torque the **** out of them till your arms want to fall off.
