Well, I've been playing with one with the SC 3800. It's completely stock except for an HP tuners program, a set of 8X26 Hoosier slicks (it has traction issues) and a converter out of some kind of Chevy mini-van. I've run AF/S with it and have never not run under the index. I think that Chris Vang has run a GP with the SC combo and gone pretty fast. Is a supercharger worth 40 HP?
To answer your question, I think that it could be a decent car judging by the NHRA specs but at what cost and what will you have when you're through? It won't come close to running with the turbo Mopars.
