it's hard to tell what your feeling, without driving it, I can only assume what you feel is loosness.

Basically on launching the front seems to wander. While just driving, it's fine...

that would be because all the power you have, the front wheels most likely are barely touching the ground

Once again, you are right! The tires to come off a tad bit. I am in the process of looking for new rims and tires. The drag set up is nice but when general driving...Not so nice...LOL
