The Torque Map is basically an estimation of the engine's torque output (in some unknown units) based on RPMs and Fueling. The ECU+TCM use the Torque Map to determine how much hydraulic pressure to apply to the clutches in the transmission. The idea is the car wants to apply enough pressure such that the clutches don't slip, but not so much excessive pressure than they engage too quickly and become jerky. I'm running the stock Torque Map now and it's fine. I don't think you can get to torque values that would slip on the stock map unless you go TT/SC or some sort of built engine.
