60 degree steep turns:

Enter at 250 Kts, as you roll through 10 degrees, add 10% N1 and keep the pitch at +5 degrees. Tiny adjustments of pitch and thrust and the aircraft will just sit there - use 15 degrees as a lead in for rolling out - if you've trimmed in the steep turn (not recommended by Boeing - but possible and comfortable to fly) then watch the rollout in terms of pitch.

Adding to what has been said before: if you've flown any under-slung jet before, the strength of the rudder on the 737 may come as quite a surprise (it's powerful). On an engine failure - add in a little rudder and use aileron to fly wings level - then add in the rudder slowly and steadily and trim it out to a level control column. For the -800, use a rudder trim target of 12 units for full power (take off, g/a) and then 5 units once in level flight and not accelerating.
