Narrative:

While departing from txwys C and west at sjc, we were cleared to depart as a CE150 was on short final to runway 29, immediately adjacent to txwys C and west. Due to the close proximity of runway 29 and the cessna on final, I was forced to deviate toward runway 30L and make a vertical climb into the shaded area of the ht-velocity diagram for my aircraft (sk 58T). Takeoff clearance should have been canceled, as I could not see how far the CE150 was behind me.
