With the lighter flywheel the engine revs faster because it has less weight to spin, thus if the car is revving faster its going to go faster. So less effort for the engine, doesn't have to work as hard, so you get more power out of the engine. Flywheels don't give you horsepower but it acts as a potential free gain of power.
