I am sorry, I disagree.
Units measuring torque are in energy.
Units measuring horsepower (or kw) are energy per second or we simply use the word power.
To accelerate you need as much energy per second as possible. In other words absolutely, positively run it at maximum power.
Has anyone got access to an MGF fitted with a CVT?
Granted it uses "stepped" changes.
Get at just below maximum torque, time acceleration for say next ten mph. Timed run finishes with engine running just above maximum torque, so its roughly averaged the maximum torque figure.
Repeat excercise over same speed differential with engine just below revs for maximum power.
