Boeing's FCTM has a graph with a list of notes:
Pitch about the aft body gear centerline
LE flaps fully extended
Aileron full down
Roll around wing gear outside tire
Stabilizer full nose up
Elevator full down
Struts compressed
Flaps 30
It shows you'll drag a RR pod with 6 degrees bank at 5 degrees pitch up or about 5.5 degrees bank at 8 degrees pitch up. P&W and GE engines give you an extra degree of bank before impact. Another chart gives tail clearance. Five degrees up gives 55 inches clearance, eight degrees up give 30 inches and ten gives 10 inches clearance.
