VLM sub 4 hours - how quick should I start?

Hello

 I am particpating in my first VLM next week. I am hoping to finish in under 4 hours. I have trained well and been lucky to escape injury. I have completed up to 21.2 miles. I am not sure what pace to start the marathon. I have done a half in 1:42 so am able to keep under 8 min miles for half. I am not sure whether to start quicker around 8:15's for the first half and then this will leave me more time in the second half to get under 4. Or do I start even slower and try and keep a steady pace. Please help?!
