The important thing about a T.Q. is actually in selecting the larger cfm 850 cfm on a performance engine. And it is critical that the jetting parameters be set also to accommodate the non stock engine. Examples would be bolt on mods such as headers, aftermarket intake, different cam ect. Once the jetting parameters are set, the carb is very hard to beat in both gas mileage and performance.

As others have said above, the power is there! And a T.Q. is a very reliable carb and fine tuning is done externally via easy-to-do adjustments for all 4 circuits:
accelerator pump shot,
idle circuit,
cruise circuit
and wot circuit.

That is the beauty of the great carb! Normal driving is smooth but when you go wot, performance is as good as any other 4 bbl carb. So as alluded to above, a T.Q. will work great on a small block stroker, David.
