Actually there is a very simple fix to the OP's problem of too much HP and too little traction ...
Do what I have learned ... Pull a couple of the plug wires off the engine.
Works every time ... The car never gets sideways at wide open throttle.

Anyway, excuse some of the guys on here, they take everything serious. However, your first post was annoying to read, and could prevent people from taking you serious when you have a legitimate question that you need answered.

Clearly a troll, but some people bought it hook, line, and sinker.

One weekend when we were at Road Atlanta, the loose nut on the steering wheel (who was doing a pretty good job with it, running in the top 5 in his group every session, and improving) declared that the thing was handling better with our latest adjustments, but he still couldn't hold it flat out through turn 12 (the sweeper onto the pit straight, at the bottom of the hill from the bridge). I told him we pretty much had all we could get from the chassis and tires, and I didn't really see that happening. He whined a little more that he really wanted to go flat out through turn 12 and I came up with a great idea. I said, "Wait! there is one more thing I can do and then you can probably go flat out through turn 12."
I walked to the front, lifted the hood and pulled two plug wires off at the dizzy.
I'm pretty sure it would have worked, but he decided he was going fast enough with all 8 plug wires attached and put them back.

Easy there bud. The last guy that picked on seniors earned himself a timeout. Joking around is OK, but know the limits.
When my kids were learning to drive, I stuck a rubber pad to the back of the gas pedal to limit travel. After a month or two, I put on a smaller one, and eventually took that one off. It's like training wheels for cars.
