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.

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?
