Cobra swerves when backing off the throttle!!

When I put the 429 under power, a great deal of power, when I lift to make a turn or any other reason for that matter it swerves like crazy.. Scares the hell out of me! It always seems to want to dive left when I lift off the gas. Is that something with the torque and rear tires?? Maybe the suspension/alignment? Or do I need to get a swaybar to stiffen the suspension? Kind of a broad question but has anyone encountered this before and if so what was your fix? I am just looking for a place to start narrowing down the diagnosis to what ever may be the culprit.. Any help would be great, you guys have help me so much already in the past..
