Boeing aircraft already have "Override" switches.

There are two switches labeled "EEC". (Electronic Engine Control)

If you turn off EEC you will get all the power you want and will over temp the engines if you firewall the power levers.
agree

So I'll have to be careful of the my use of the word overide if all it does is turn off a system. However any system left running I believe has has to meet its design intent without exceedances (caused by the system).
