You might want to re-phrase your question. I have no clue what you are getting at here.

TQ is not related to whether your tires are spinning. TQ is a measure of how much twisting force the engine is producing, multiplied by your gears.
If your tires are spinning excessively, you are losing traction, and the car will not accelerate as quickly. If the tires are spinning just a little, you are not losing much at all, might even see a slight gain.
