thrust is limited by pin configs. FADEC can be set in such a way that they provide 24k in take off power, but, when the pilot pushed beyond takeoff power, into the "cushion" range during an emergency, the FADEC will allow the engine to churn out out the 26 or 27k The max available again depends on what the frame can safely handle.
Hopefully this will add clarity to the mystery of the EEC
EEC Normal Mode
In the normal mode, the EEC uses sensed flight conditions and bleed air demand to calculate N1 thrust ratings. The EEC compares commanded N1 to actual N1 and adjusts fuel flow to achieve the commanded N1. The full rated takeoff thrust for the installed engine is available at a thrust lever position less than the forward stop. Fixed or assumed temperature derated takeoff thrust ratings are set at thrust lever positions less than full rated takeoff. The maximum rated thrust is available at the forward stop. The EEC limits the maximum thrust according to the airplane model as follows:
• 737-800 – CFM56-7B27 rating
Takeoff Bump Thrust - Specific Aircraft Only
Takeoff bump thrust is available when increased thrust is needed for takeoff, above the normal maximum takeoff thrust setting. When selected using the FMC N1 LIMIT page, takeoff thrust is increased by either the flight crew or the autothrottle positioning the thrust levers to set N1 to the reference N1 bug. Bump thrust applies only to the takeoff rating; maximum climb, maximum continuous and go-around thrust ratings are not affected.
