There is more to it than torque management, the L99, as been discussed on here before is an LS3 with the following that make the engine have less power:

-Much more restrictive exhaust
-Smaller camshaft profile due to the fact that it has AFM
-Valve reliefs cut in the pistons which slightly lower the compression ratio

Torque Management is in the Engine tune and the Trans tune, it pulls timing and closes the throttle body(or opens it less) based on many scenarios, and for the transimssion it pulls timing to the extent that the engine can decelerate through the shift only which slows you down drastically in your shifts when drag racing. When I tune for Torque Management, I eliminate the Engine Torque Management and I vary the Trans Torque Management depending on some other variables, but after I am done with it you pretty much can't even tell it's there, but some still is just for an added security.
On a side note, I did dyno my Camaro SS completely stock, and I wasn't too happy with the results, but it was at 400 miles, I just hit 500 miles this weekend and I am going to dyno it again this week sometime to see if it changed.
