So in a Boeing deselect LNAV and depart with TOGA to maintain runway track.
If the SID is coded for runway track, then arming LNAV is the proper procedure (744).
Know your system, know your Jepps, and know your procedures!

Heading is heading and track is track; they are quite separate. Except when there is no crosswind component, they will always be different.

... an afterthought ...
SMOC, maybe you (and others) are confusing this with "Climb Straight Ahead", which is defined (UK) in both CAP413 and CAP493 as having the following meaning ...
JD
Straight Ahead When used in departure clearances means: 'track extended runway centreline'. When given in Missed Approach Procedures means: 'continue on Final Approach Track'.

Nope not confused, just towing the company line, for example often departing Taipei / Manila / Jakarta we are cleared "runway hdg" we depart in TOGA to maintain runway track however all flying in the US the same instruction we use HDG SEL. "Climb straight ahead" we would use TOGA for track again.

That phrase is not in the US Pilot/Controller Glossary, so the UK CAPs are "new information" for US pilots.
From FAA Order 8260.46C, Departure Procedure Program, page 10, par. 10.g(4):
From FAA Order 8260.46C, Departure Procedure Program, page 10, par. 10.g(4):
g. Terminology. The following terminology should be used for initial climb instructions:
"(4) Do not use the terminology "Climb straight ahead…" or "Maintain runway
track...," as there is no guidance or reference definition of this phraseology for the pilot to apply."
"(4) Do not use the terminology "Climb straight ahead…" or "Maintain runway
track...," as there is no guidance or reference definition of this phraseology for the pilot to apply."

TOGA: correct; it maintains rwy C.L. after lift off in B757/767. However, B737's depart in HDG SEL. Other types are a mystery to me.

Should be track
It should be track, all clearences from terrain/ obstructions after take off assume that you are following the extended centreline (or trying to!!). Look up the diagrammatic description for TODA and TORA in your regs.
