1) TT bike power is usually slightly less than road bike power. Maybe not so slightly, depends a lot on position and how much you've ridden the TT bike.

2) You want to run negative splits, period.

If you held 310W for 18 minutes, then I'd say go out at 280-290 and just see how you feel. If you're feeling good, go harder. If not, hold that and just gradually start taking the pace up as you approach the end. You want to feel like you need to barf at the end.
