yes... in a street motor.
large displacements are condusive to making tq, but harder to spin fast
HP = TQ*RPM/5252
if you, for the sake of argument, say street/strip engines can only rev 0-7000. More tq = better for the situational constraints
say a racing engine can rev 0-10,000 .... TQ will help, but you'll make more average power if you can spin it faster.
I know these are oversimplifications... the reality is MUCH more complicated than this and relies on too many factors to list here. I'm just trying to make the point that this isn't a black and white issue across the board.
