I don't have that problem, really, unless I get up to Farmer's Valley inlet, which is a like a 40*incline off the main road, around a nearly 90* curve. If I get too low in the R's hitting that incline, I get some bad wheel spin on the inside wheel, usually, and end up having to downshift and feather the clutch for a second to "tame the beast".

I hope to take care of this with an LSD 3.55 gearset, but that probably won't happen for awhile. Instead, I normally just take the turn (which is a right hand turn) from the left lane, so I can make it wider and line up before I hit the incline.
