<< Should I left foot brake as I'm accelerating to keep the weight balanced
toward the front wheels?
What other things should I try? I didn't want to put an anti-sway bar in
yet because of the expense, but if I did, would that help? And would it be
front or rear?

Left foot braking is best "left" to professionals. If the rear end steps out
too much, either a. increase your front spring rates - tough to do unless you
have coilovers b. install a front anti sway bar which is larger than stock c.
remove the rear sway bar or d. decrease the rear spring rates (again, tough
unless you have coilovers.). What springs did you use to do this to the car?
I've had several different configurations in my CSQ and my GT's, and none
have ever rotated the rear end unless the conditions were less than perfect
(the exception being the current setup on the GT, which is basically a race
car suspension at this point...).
Later!
