Single Engine Performance

I had a instructor do a simmular thing to me, but not as bad.
It was a 85 degree day with 3/4 full tanks. I had my son-in-law in back seat, so near gross weight. On take off after wheels up at 300 feet AGL. He pulled my front engine to idle. I dropped the nose to maintain 90 knots. It would not climb at all at that point. I made a slow turn to left to go down wind. After I turned I gained about 90 feet before turning base to land. Part of my climb problem, was the idle engine was creating drag. I know how that feels and I could have brought the front engine back if I needed it. It was a good experiance. That proved to me, a 337 is the best aircraft to have a engine out problem.
