Default What gear to pull in?

I have a 94 reg. cab 2500 4wd with a five speed. I have ground the fuel to a #100 and slid everything forward and a ATS high flow intake and a home made water/meth injection. I have a south bend clutch just the street one but its better that stock! So im going to pull next saturday and i was wondering what gear i should pull in and maybe some advise its my first time?

about 2k-2500rpms and let it out slowly, while maintaining your rpms, and as soon as its out, floor it!

35's are gonna be hard on that single disk, give 3rd low a shot. if it slips stop and use 2nd low.

id say 3rd low for ya. 2nd low would make a great saftey factor but you will run out of wheel speed fast.
