I run prometheus gears and pistons in all my guns, never had any issues from 300-470fps, from 800-1600rpm
Using double torques in my old M4 I could pull a 380fps spring on a G&P M140 with an 8.4v mini battery at 800rpm, and at 960rpm with a 9.6v mini.
Wanting a faster RoF and cold weather performance is one thing, but if you're not getting at least 900-1100rpm on a 9.6v mini, the problem is not the battery.

And what protections are in place for your LiPo? Do you have a MOSFET switch? Have you read the thread on LiPo's?
If you're not running a MOSFET I highly recommend switching to a 7.4v LiPo, quality motor, and a quality standard ratio gearset. The added amperage of the LiPo will offer about the same power as a 9.6v mini, and with a better motor you should be able to run a 380-400fps at a respectable RoF no problem.
