A lighter fly wheel will make the engine rev more freely but that is not necessarily the best thing for drag racing where a steady and smooth increase is always needed. I would first of all increase the engine size (displacement increasing the compression ratio) then I would add a turbo and get the computer custom mapped. Cheaper option would be adding a racing profile cam and air filter/exhaust sytem.

Do you know if the EVO 2.0 engine will drop in - that would give you a lot of power and the EVO V engines are starting to turn up in breakers yards.
