Its very likely that its a suspension problem. Your springs might be at different rates, the right ones may be higher. Or maybe you blew something? Just check out your suspension components.

When it's sitting or when you launch?

Air bags can solve your launching problem. If not, the springs could simply be installed in a different location (should all be "pointing" the same way) which can cause a slight cant to one side.
