It's almost certainly not torque. Sounds like you could still be tail heavy, or the wing is warped, or the plane itself is twisted. Does it seem sensitive on the elevator? That would indicate the plane is still tail heavy.

You might be able to trim it out. If the elevator isn't too sensitive, punch in some down trim before takeoff, and be prepared to add in some down elevator to keep the takeoff flat and gradual.

The position of the wing is far less important than the balance point or alignment.
