Losing traction-Sluggish steering
The basemap isn't the issue. I had the Cobb stage 2 93 octane map on my old car, no torque steer.
My new car has the latest GST basemap 93 octane, no torque steer.
Ask others, they will no doubt tell you the same thing, Ralliart don't have torque steer issues
You may have an issue with the front LSD.

Hmm... well My car wasnt like this till I got it tuned. Doesnt really feel like I'm losing traction, just a grip of more power thats hard to control in the front end off the line. Very similar to my old GP GTP and GXP
And to the OP, torque-steer is when the acceleration forces on the front drivetrain 'try to straighten out' the CV joints at the same time you have an asymetrical force. You notice it when accelerating hard and the car wants to lurch to one side (usally to the right) that has to be counter-acted by steering input to the left to stay straight.
In your orignal post you mention 'when i hit bumps...torque steer' - so i just want to make sure we speaking the same lingo here to help you out!
What you are trying to describe (if i am correct) is actually 'bump-steer' - when the hole or hump forces the car to one side requiring a steering input to counteract it. More of Jeep-thing or, in my HEMI Durango, the rear end would 'skip' disconcertingly (until i got new shocks).

Lol... also after I put in a K&N
<strong> **update**</strong>
Lowered tire pressure from 39 to 35.
I put the K&N back in (I got over my paranoia).
Driver mod ( re-positioned my seats)
Absolutely zero issues.
So was it the tire pressure? Coincidentally, the weather is getting cooler here, might that be a factor?
