Narrative:

We departed runway 31L at intersection kk with a tailwind (less than 10 KTS) on the cri climb. As the pilot flying; I executed the departure in white data in line with 'pink sheet' guidance. We were heavy and used a lot of runway consistent with our weight. Upon selecting navigation mode the FMS sequenced to the turn to cri and I immediately thought it was not tight enough. With consideration for our minimum maneuvering airspeed I executed a full bank turn as quickly as I could; but am not sure we remained inside the 039 radial of cri. When we contacted departure they asked us something to the effect of did the tailwind affect our turn. I know of no conflict with other aircraft. In the future I would strongly consider not using this intersection departure in a 700/900 with a tailwind. It would be very difficult to remain within the 039 radial of cri considering that we are in half bank for some time after departure; and the airplanes use more runway than the 100/200.
