I don't think you can really ever get it not to flip over because there is so much traction roll.
Have you tried stiffer springs and thicker sway bars? I'm just a dumb GP guy but when my car traction rolls, I stiffen the suspension to take steering out. The car will flip easier if you allow the chassis to roll.

Just my opinion...
