When you say "this" do you mean "having more low-end torque than a gasoline motor"?
In theory, you could tune your prop governor to take a bigger "bite" of the air at low airspeed and thus perhaps get better acceleration and a shorter takeoff roll. But aircraft performance is very rarely limited by the torque output of the engine itself. Usually the driveshafts and gearboxes are the limiting factors in power/torque transmission.
