Well, they sell the stuff specifically for females w/another brand name; call it Sarafem. It has apparently saved many husband's lives during that
critical
time of the month ...

LOL^^^
So I found out that Mini seriously under rates the hp numbers. They get what they are rated at on the dyno. I drove a regular 08 Cooper S last nite. LOL it has MAD torque steer. I don't notice the torque steer as bad on my Clubman but then again I want to break her in slowly.

I know right?!? Hopefully I will get to it this weekend. Still haven't had the time to really give her the attention she deserves. I should have a JCW front strut bar installed today though...

A front strut bar will likely increase torque steer. Anything you do to make the engine/transmission/chassis more rigid, just makes the matters worse.
One way manufactures minimize torque steer is increasing flexibility in drive shafts, suspension components, etc., so you may want to look into that. Racers don't mind because they do help in rapid direction changes in medium to high speed turns, but you'll suffer more under acceleration, specially from stand still.
Do go by me though, I'm sure there's a lot more of info in the Mini forums, I'd try the British ones, they have a huge club racer scene.
