ah, but therein lies a trap. If the engine is not thrust limited by some other means, you have the option of overboosting and, potentially, adding to your woes by pushing the Vmcg/Vmca up to an embarrassing value .. depending on circumstances, of course.

Investigated one fatal where this (Vmca exceedance) was a very likely major contributor to the flight's endgame ... in general, it is possibly better to set and leave the thrust alone for the takeoff .. unless there is more to the problem than a simple failure.
