Question ARK for Torque or HP?

So I'm thinking about doing the ARK or cutting up my stocker, but still not sure.

Right now, my 865 with TORs easily goes up to 106 (indicated by GPS) with more to go.
I don't really need to go faster, but what I'm looking for is more torque in the midrange so I can accelerate from 0-60 and 60-90 quicker.

If I understand it correctly, HP is what is gonna push that wind out of the way and reach the highest speeds, and torque is what makes the change in velocity possible.
So I think I need more torque.
I don't just want to switch sprockets because then I'll be searching even harder for "6th gear" at speed.

Thoughts?
