Having more low end torque may or may not improve things. All else being equal, if you increase available torque at a given RPM, your driving load will be lower. Lower load means more vacuum, and more losses. Hopefully the increased power comes in part from efficiency improvements and not just from getting more air into the cylinders.

However, if it can help prevent a downshift, or allow shifting earlier, that's something.
