Not Ranked
same gearing, traction, and redline : more torque wins
Run more gearing and move up the redline : HP can win
since our V-8's can't have an unlimited redline, and gearing is pretty limited, torque is what you want, you just don't want it to quit spinning at 4500 RPM. Maximise torque at your shift recovery point, which for most of us is still considered midrange.
