You're all mis-understanding the meaning of the terms power and torque. You talk of increasing torque, but at what point in the rev range? An engine has torque at all rpm. You accelerate fastest at the rpm at which max power occurs. Power is a function of both torque and rpm. The fastest engine is the one that for the track in question, has the largest area under the power curve for the rpm curve of the track.
