Think about it. In any trans gear there is a variable rpm acceleration rate. The max acceleration will be at Max torque and you can see that by looking at the rpm/s column.

Based on your last statement explain why a car with a torque convertor set at your max torque -- say 5800 is slower than the same car with a convertor that stalls 6900 and the engine has usable HP at that range and above -- the one set at max torque DOES NOT accelerate quicker. ask me how I know!
