Default Car pulls left when loosing traction, and more

When the car looses traction at the end of first gear and first to second gear shift, the car pulls to the left big time and gets squirly. The mods are in sig that i have. I was wandering what could correct this in my suspension and if it can't be corrected by what I have, what should I upgrade?

I guess lastly, what other upgrades would you recommend to my setup now that I have the kind of power I have? Brake upgrade? Shocks upgrade? Adjustable suspension pieces, etc?

Get your car corner balanced. Chances are there is more weight being distributed on one side than the other, causing it to get more grip on one side and causing this squirrelyness.

I think it's just the axle torque reaction, right tire
lift, making an applied road-force imbalance and
pushing the left more than right so your rear force
is off-axis. The left side "wants it more". Static
weight balance is good but need the right tire to
fight its natural tendencies under torque.
