Do you mean the standard Boeing Close-in noise abatement procedure where you use V2+15 in the CLB page speed restriction to 3000 AFE, and select VNAV (CLMB 2) at 1500 AFE, accelerate and clean up at 3000 AFE?
The United B752s have PW2037 engines, and the SNA departure procedure is:
Thrust - Use Max thrust, set CLB2;
T/O flaps - 15 preferred, 20 if required;
Program V₂+15 to 1550 ft MSL on CLB page;
When cleared to T/O, Hold brakes and stabilize thrust at 1.10 EPR; push EPR switch and release brakes; rotate to maintain V₂+15 at Vʀ; at precisely 800 ft AFE select VNAV and adjust pitch to maintain V₂+15; at 1500 ft AFE accelerate to Clean Maneuvering speed and retract flaps on schedule; at 3000 ft AFE accelerate to 250 kts.
Of course the VNAV engagement and lowering the pitch at 800 ft is noticeable and probably very uncomfortable for the nervous fliers. The trick (at least for me) is to remember to take the thrust off CLB2 about 5000 ft rather than at a much higher altitude.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
