Default td04-15g on b16

Ok, i've got a question for anyone who has had experience with this. A little background info on the setup. I used to run the greddy d-series turbo kit on my 95 civic ex sedan. I just recently swapped in a sir-2 b16 with auto to manual (btw, for all of those who say without trying it, thatit can't be done, or not worth it... well i did it, and it's easy and worth it). I am wanting to try to adapt the d-series kit to the b16. I know it can be done w/ just a little machining on the manifold, cuz i've heard of people doing it, and the exhaust b16 exhaust gasket lines up reasonably well with everything on the manifold.
My question is though, will the td04-15g be able to keep up with the high rpm demands of 8000 rpm. For racing purposes, I intend mainly to do auto-x with this setup and so I am interested in mainly low to midrange power, but would like to be able to keep some top end too, for the occasional day at the dragstrip. I do not desire to wait till 4-5k rpm to spool, nor do i desire to engage in any 100+ mph gross display of topend power, so please don't tell me to go buy a drag or rev-hard, etc. I have looked at compressor maps for the 15g and efficiency seems to run up to about 280 cfm @ roughly 12-15 psi range (I only plan on running 7-10). From what i've found, the 14b flows fairly similar. I have not been able to find though, what kind of cfm's the b16 requires at higher rpms. Will this turbo be able to flow enough cfm's so as not to choke off or pressure drop near redline? Or would there be another comprable turbo which I haven't looked at that would better suit my needs? Any input would be appreciated
