FYI here is my takeoff profile.

LNAV preset if an LNAV departure.

When taking off add power to 1.10 EPR let the engines stabilize then press EPR.

Complete the take off roll, V1 -> rotate -> Positive rate -> gear up

At 400' AGL select or verify the roll mode. Either press heading select or just verify that LNAV is active.

At 1000' AGL select VNAV or FLCH if needed (you control the speed at this point).  If you select VNAV the plane will then pitch for the acceleration, clean up the flaps then climb away with the pitch command following the VNAV programming in the FMC
