Shutdown Packs=More power?

Hiya,
I understand the SOP on the 744 is to shutdown packs 1 and 3 on T/O to provide more power to the engines if the GTW is high. I was wondering, then, if on any aircraft you were to lose an engine, what would be the effect of shutting down the packs? Would this provide a little more power on the remaining engine?
Cheers
