So if my car is pulling left when I let off...
It's the alignment, right? Tires have the same pressure. Most of the time, it tracks fine, but when I left off, it pulls left and when I get on it from zero throttle, it pulls right.
This is only going 60+ MPH.
It also feels like I'm getting blown around by the wind a lot at time when I'm on the interstate, but I'm pretty sure no wind is blowing.
Advice?

how are your tires? s2000's are bad for pulling one way if the back tire tred is different from side to side.
It did it with the old tires too tho. I hope the new tires would fix it.

Check your front end and your suspension, or bring it to a shop and have them check it? When did it start doing it,How did it start doing it...Did you hit anything, pothole, curb etc.

Check them again...even if you just checked them yesterday...check the tire pressures again. Just a couple psi difference from right to left (especially at the rear) causes the problem you describe. 99% of the time, it comes down to tire pressure.
What PSI do you suggest? I have the soft sidewall general exclaim UHPs. I've been running 38psi hot in the rear and 35 hot in the front.

This doesn't sound like tires to me, sounds like some play in the suspension. I would check all the front suspension bolts for one being loose. I would guess it's worn tie rod ends if it weren't a 2005. That would seem like very premature wear.
