You have 15/43 as standard - if you want more torque make the front smaller and the rear larger (or both).

13/42 or 14/45 would give you 10% more torque, 13/46 or 14/50 would give you 20%. You'll need a longer chain regardless

Sorry, I have no idea if you have the mechanical skill to change your sprockets - it's not hard though. You will have to pull the rear wheel of course, and also join a chain. Both can be rather exciting if you put them back together incorrectly.

You have to pull the rear wheel to change the tire so that's a good time to do it. You can just take the wheel to get the tire installed, you don't have to take the bike and pay for removal/reinstall etc.

Any dumbass can follow step by step directions imo🤷‍♂️ if u cant then u probably a dumbass🤷‍♂️. I do my brakes. Oil. And plates. More or less I'm wondering of there are any special tools I'd require...other than a motorcycle jack and basic tools... Will finish the job💯💯

if my wheel won't come up at all in second would you suggest.... 10% torque increase or 20%.. I used the sprocket calculator and it said +10% torque = -10% speed and same for 20% torque and -20% speed to me -20% is a lot

All life is a compromise, if you want more torque for wheelies then you have less absolute top speed but I would ask how often you reach the redline in top gear?
