You can't just increase power to change the lift, unless you're in a helicopter of course. Think about the elements in the lift formula, that's what you've got to work with. Also, the weight at that point is a perceived 'weight' composed of your weight vector and the centrifugal force. Changing your power to increase speed for example, will also increase the centrifugal force, so you'll never get to one again.
