I'm seeing people on here agreeing with each other, but saying the opposite things. Just as a refresher, the aircraft tries to yaw into the wind on takeoff. Therefore it is always the upwind engine that you would want to carry more power on. The only time I can think of that you would want to use this technique on takeoff would be on a multi engine TAILWHEEL aircraft, and then only until you are fast enough for rudder effectiveness.
