I can feel my car twisting. What do I need?
When I launch I can feel the car twisting and it feels like it makes it loose power. I feel it even worse when it shifts into second it feels like it is twisting bad and feels like it would be much faster if it was stable. Would sub frame connectors help this problem? What else would help launching since I am getting a 3200 stall soon?

I guess with the mods in your sig I have a hard time believing that the frame is going to heck when you launch....what kind of suspension parts do you have on your car? Fresh shocks? Any rear pieces? Sometimes things that feel like body flex are actually due to other things.

Its really not the launch its when it is shifting into second you can feel the frame twisting. I mean im 90% sure if I put some sfc's on it it will cure the problem.

The rear axle basically is being turned by the driveshaft. That's probably 97% what you're feeling. It's a natural reaction of solid axle cars.
SFC's won't hurt in any case. The only drawback is some people think it transmits a little more noise and they'll add a tiny bit of weight. Not an issue for me.. of course I accept that this car is a performance car and not a luxury Cadillac

If you still have stock deCarbons, they ride like absolute ragged ***. Take a spin in a car with a good set of shocks, and you'll be amazed at what a truly "good ride" is. Good shocks also help with launching.
Only having 30k miles doesn't mean your motor, transmission, and torque arm mounts might not be ugly...remember, the car is 12 years old now, and rubber dry-rots and cracks, especially when subjected to high load/torque applications. Start with the small stuff first before throwing money at trying to fix a problem without knowing what's causing it.
