The real key to all these cars is P-W-R.

You have a 2000lb car, with 200 HP, it gets off the line quicker than a 3500lb 400 HP car. The key is to race them long enough to where P-W-R doesn't matter, i.e. Highway. This is where the high MPH, high HP, guys make up for weight....via raw power.

It's all about what you want really. An all motor car typically is more dependable than a boosted car, although that too varies depending on how far you're pushing the envelope in a specific application. Boosted cars make more overall HP, but then you get traction issues. Again, traction usually only plays a part in 1/4 mi racing. On a roll, different things come into play.

I'm just impressed that you can turn 11's out of 200+ HP. That's impressive. Although people are usually not doing that in a car with A/C, radio, back seat, trunk, etc. either. So, again, it's about what you want.

If you want a quick car w/no frills, a light all motor gutted car is the ticket. If you want a quick car w/all the whistles, boost is the only way to get there because of the weight. Of course it's more complicated than that, but that's the jest of it.
