Question My car almost did a wheelie yesterday!!!

I was turning left with first gear and as soon is i turned pressed pedal to the floor and the front end almost came off the ground!!!!
Not kidding.
My tires are brand new the asphalt almost new but is that right?
I have pss9 all around ,do i need to go stiffer at the front shocks?
i just upgraded to k24s and with other upgrades probably about 550-575 hp.
The car runs great much better than k16s
Any comments or ideas?
Thank you in advance

Your car wasn't even remotely close to lifting the front wheels, that's all there is to it. 575hp?

If your suspension is real tight, it could be possible that the inside wheel is off the ground. Man, I can tricycle my car going up my driveway at an angle

i know my car is not like Marski or someone else in this forum with 800-900-1000 HP
I believe with the upgrades i did is about 550-575hp (NOT RWHP)
i m going for a dyno in 10 days and i will post the results,last time was around 500hp without the k24s e.t.c,so i think i got at least 50hp more with the k24s and remap.
Any way ,my point is the car felt like was OEM factory shocks in the front,
and was weird.
I dont mean to be a smart a..s
Im happy with the hp i have for now, (just was weird !!!!!)
Guys dont forget my car is (WICKED) HA !HA !HA!

Might have wanted to look into some full length subframe connectors there. Twist is bad.

cool pic though.

That's the natural twist with a strait axle car w/o ladder bars. My Oldsmobile Cutlass was REALLY bad about that. Front left tire would be about a foot and a half off the ground and the right one would stay down and scream to keep the car straight for the first 60ft.
