Default Would a D1 be to small for a 382 Ab

I was going to build a stock CI motor but i decided to build a 382 AB.I was wondering if the D1 would be to small im wanting to run about 12-15 lbs of boost.Im also thinking about running a shot of N2O to I wanting about 700 to the wheels and i waondering if the 382 with about 12 lbs will get me close to my goal? If not i will add some N2O on top of it. Also i know a guy from Dallas had a 382 with an incon kit that made some great power so im still undecited if i want to go SC or turbo. I was also thinking about a 382 with the new CAS turbo kit.Im still in the planing mode right now.Just tring to get some info.

Hey Scott- Are using alcohol injection to boost your octane or just using straight 110? If you're using the injection: how is it working out, where do you get it refilled and for how much, and how long does a tank usually last? I'm thinking about going that way on my setup but MMS doesn't seem to keen on the idea. My WS6 is a sem-daily driver... Thanks for the info!
