Um, No! The quicker the engne gets up to the powerband, the quicker the car moves. Same thing applies to a lightened flywheel. I dropped 3 tenths off my 1/4 mile with it installed (on nitrous). Its not JUST that its a smaller pulley, or JUST that its a lighter pulley, or JUST that it transfers less drag from the accesory pullies to the crack, its the combined effects of all 3.
