Not exactly sure what you're asking, but if I remember correctly, maybe initially 30 deg down. And that all depends on what speed you start the maneuver at--the slower you are, the more initial nose down you can go to reach 320kt (target speed). After 320kt, VVI and pitch decrease. 2 or 4 TRs are available.
