Why have I lost Torque?
When I bought my car, I used to be able to squeel the tires at a stoplight
After new tires (understandable), new muffler, cone-type filter, often I floor it and the tires don't even chirp
It'* a little disappointing, I like that off the line torque
How do I get it back?

Naw...you didn't lose nothing, the tires are gripping better. The only time I chirp is when the road is damp or wet and I'm on an incline.
Hmm, now I know why you needed new tires

just to keep things going..... theres a chance also that oyu might have lost that low end torque... When i first bought my car, i could churp the tires pretty well of a red light, then after putting a cone filter on it, there wasnt any churp at all. Then i bought a new filter, and gutted out my air box, and that worked best yet... my suggestion would be buying a cheap filter, and guttin your air box,a nd trying that, see if its any better than the cone
