Buy an N/A
Actually, that might not help, since I've been in one that had similar problems to you
Seriously, though, don't DUMP the clutch when shifting into 2nd. Shift quickly, and let the clutch out quickly, but don't dump and nail the gas... Shift, let out clutch, apply throttle. Roll onto the throttle. The idea is to be quick, but smooth.
Slicks might help, too
Stickies are not that expensive and have the added bonus of improving your launch, too.

Change your tranny mount to a solid type, and weld your diff mounts in soild, this will help get rid of alot of wheelspin and wheelhop, but when it hooks, its ****** gone

And to Mr Samps about corners.. It not a problem at all, 120 in sweeping turns is a breeze, Also making the mounts solid has helped me with my drifting, and its easier to control now...and more predictable

I 2nd the replace all bushings. I probably wouldn't go solid (ie metal blocks) but a stiff rubber or urethane should work. Don't forget the motor mounts and all the bushings in the rear suspension. Get some wide meats and play with your air pressure. Making the chassis more stiff can't hurt either. Rear strut tower brace, 2 part foam in the *frame* rails. Have fun.
