Depends on how your brakes hold, I would try to footbrake to 1500 and go up from there as your brakes allow... Just stage as shallow as possible so you can experiment...

Try different rpm's and check your 60 ft times and judge from there. There's alot of different variables like tires or slicks,etc What works for one guy won't work for another so pay attention to the time slips!!
