Default 10 bolt problems, possible mini spool?

So I'm having a problem with my 10 bolt. When ever I turn right and floor it to get sideways, the inside(right) wheel spins like crazy. The other thing is that I'm not going to be drag racing my car on the strip, if anything it is just a daily driver/drifter/roll racer. The guy before me put in 2.73 gears so I'm thinking about 3.73 on a T56. Another thing is I don't want to put too much money into a 10 bolt so I'm thinking a mini spool and just getting some good axles for when I turn into a parking spot, what do you guys think?

A mini spool is for dirt track use, NOT drag racing or street use because they're weak. However, the stock axles might just be weaker. Either way, if you run a mini spool, you will soon find out which is weaker Aftermarket axle shafts are a waste of money on a 10 bolt.
