Question 700R4 flywheel

OK, so I've been riding around with my new 700R4 transmission. Its adjusted properly and everything works fine. It down shifts when I floor it, so apparently it has the ability to downshift a lot

I posted a couple days ago, saying that I was disappointed with my top speed and that got me thinking about the flywheel. My old man read somewhere that 700R4's use a different flywheel from... well, everything else. The flywheel I'm using, though, is from my TH350 and it bolted right up. No problemo. I DID get a chance to look at a 700R4 flywheel that was on a Camaro, and it was significantly smaller as far as diameter is concerned.

So, could the size of the diameter of a flywheel affect speed? Are you really supposed to use a certain flywheel for the 700R4?

I used my old flywheel, because I didn't think the starter would make contact with the smaller, Camaro flywheel. I'm starting to wonder if that flywheel came off of a V6 or something. Anybody know much about Camaros, V6's, and 700R4 flywheels?
