Yes you have a problem.

You were likely shipped the "weaksauce" version of the Vortech, who did you buy it from?

So you are making less torque than you would've with a stock engine?

Possible that the headers/exhaust combo is too free flowing, not enough back pressure??

Agreed that the tq # is mega fail, you sure you read that right??

How much boost are you making? Maybe you have a leak. Even your hp numbers look low.

Check your bypass valve. Make sure your vacume line is still conected.

your torque is broken, have it fixed. i know you probably wanted to keep it safe but the 3.33 is so boring, N/A HR Z's would give you a hard time. 3.33 = snore, 3.12 = interesting, 2.87 = fun fun fun.

I really doubt that your problem is coming from your exhaust. Have you checked for leaks yet, or your bypass valve vacume line? Oh yea I already suggested that. Well don't listen to my advise just change out your headers, that should be easier to trouble shoot.
