If it's anything like the -900ER (which is should be, extra power isn't going to be enough to make up for the larger size), then you bet that's going to be a runway pig. I know it's flightsim, but I took off at MTOW in Denver on a 20C day, and I used every single inch of that runway. Slow climb speeds too.
Feels like a Heavy taking off.
