Default Rolling Road day...How to increase torque?

Hi,
I put my car on the rollers for the first time today, and had a great day, really good atmosphere and was very pleased with the results.
However, my torque seemed a bit low, compared to the HP and others on the day. I was wondering if there was anything i could do to get this up.



Car: STi Version 3
Mods: Full H&S Decat, Dawes (18Psi), Panel Filter
Results: 321.4BHP @ 7149 & 282.5Lbft

Anyhelp would be much appreciated, and many thanks to the Esc for a great day...

Nothing wrong with your torque figures for a car of that year, pretty good actually
You will find only the latest scoobs (newage JDM cars) push serious torque levels due to the revisions in the engines, most scoobs will have a higher bhp output than torque.

swap your headers for more torque..
or run more boost lower down the rev range via an EBC like an AVCR or Harveys Hybrid EBC.
