You want to either go with a smaller front sprocket, or larger rear.

The amount of torque gained will be proportional to the number of teeth changed.

For example going from a 10 tooth front to a 9 will give you 10% more power, and 10% less speed.

Going from a 20 tooth rear to a 22 tooth will have about the same effect.

Just figure out how many teeth you have on each, and how much gain you want, and figure from there. Just one tip, change only one sprocket, or if you do change both, do one, test drive it, then change the other. A 10 or 15% change will make a noticeable difference.
