I heard the manifold can hurt power but I don't think it would be that bad...

Find another tuner. Or maybe the install on the heads and cams were bad. Idk, have a compression test done.

You have some issues there lol. Take it to someone else, and drive it as little as possible in the meantime.

resolve the trans issue and follow the diagnostic troubleshooting tree for the code you are getting, the fact that the torque output is low on the dyno pull coupled with a trans code would indicate trans slippage or lack of lock up, so resolve the reason why the CEL is coming on and it may fix the low number issue on the dyno
