Car pulls to the right under acceleration

Hello, So I hit a pretty decent sized rock on the highway last year and blew out my front right tire. Ever since then the car pulls to the right when accelerating and then straightens out when off the gas. I've looked at the suspension but can't see any visible damage. Any idea what might need to be replaced? Tires are good now and alignment has been adjusted to spec. I don't believe my tranny is HSLD. I've also swapped different tires to that side and it makes no difference.

I mean, it does kind of sound like normal torque steer. Looks like your car makes plenty of power. But if you're sure this only came about after running over a rock, then replacing your control arms (including bushings and ball joints) is probably a reasonable place to start if they've never been done.
