lauching.. questions/problems

Ok.. I have been starting to do some pretty hard laucnhes with my car.. I have 17x7.5 konig's all around with Bridgestone Potenzas RE730's, around 4 months old. I also have the car lowered with eibach pro-kit and kyb agx adjustable shocks set to 3 out of 4 firmness all around, I also have the neuspeed strut tower brace. THe car is a 94 VTEC with i/h/e, and pulleys. Back when the wheather was a little warmer and before I added the header, I was doing 4k launches with very good results. Eventually I was able to do a couple 5.5K launches with some AWESOME results, but it was more a hit or miss issue.. I'd say 6 outta 10 atttempted launches were amazing, while the others usually involved serious wheel-hop. Now that I have added the header, and the wheather has gotten REAL cold, I can;t even manage a decent 4k launch. I just get CRAZY wheel hop. In addition to this I have noticed since it has gotten colder, and the header install I actually get some WHEEL HOP on the 1-2 shift when I am really getting on it. So what's up??? I haven;t really changed me method of launching, but I am getting some pretty bad results. OBviuosly I need to change my launch technique, but my QUESTION is what has changed with my car? Could there be some problems I can look out for!?!? what's the deal?

PS this is racing related because it only happens when I race
