Screen height

Am I a little out of date if I recall that in the V1 continue case we will clear the end (screen height) by 35' or more if the all factors are correct?
Hi 390,

I think it's 50ft screen height when the runway is dry and 35ft screen height when the runway is wet.

Oh, and BTW, as MCT is a lower setting than T/O thrust, and taking into consideration that engines are usually certified to run at TOP for 5 or 10 mins, would it be "wise" leaving the good engine at the TOP setting for, say 4 or 9 minutes (depending on the limitation) when an engine fails? That way you get some little extra thrust much needed to get away from planet Earth.
