Odd torque curve...?

I have never had my car dynoed, but this has really been making me want to get it done. There are a few things I put back into my car within the past few weeks, and it really has made it drive a lot different and created a huge amount of torque between 2,000 and 3,500 rpm's. I put the mid pipe back on my intake, changed over to my summer rims, and installed new NGK V power plugs, 1 step colder gapped to .035. And for the last couple days, especially tonight I have been able to break the tires loose at around 20-30mph, without using my nitrous, and it's an automatic! What makes this so weird to me, is that this happens w/o me even flooring it, 1/2 to 3/4 throttle and this happens, not everytime though (luckily )
Can anyone make some sense of this? or is my car just a factory freak??

maybe the road is alot colder than the tires which could be causing it to slip

I have thought of that, but then the tires should also spin when i take off the line, which they really dont, it's not until i'm already moving at a moderate speed.

If anything wouldn't the plugs rob him of power because they are a step colder and he's N/A?

I'm not going to change my plugs everytime I'm going to use the nitrous, but the power loss isnt significant, I havent noticed any, although I've had colder plugs in for a year and a half so I cant really go by memory from that long ago.
