The C8.R/ZO6 engine isn't based on the Blackwing engine. Blackwing has 96mm bore spacing with an 86 mm bore x 90.2 mm stroke. It's an undersquare engine built for low revs and stump-pulling torque with a low 6000 rpm redline.

DFC62, I also had a 2008 ZO6, loved that car!! I would also love to have that same engine again in a C8Z. I also prefer NA motors, honest horse power; but, I do miss the 3rd pedal on the floor?

I'd luv an NA for the Z but don't fear a well designed TT V8, my BMW M850 is uber responsive with 0 perceptible lag, even when the engine is in comfort mode. In the high powered variants of TT's they are often underrated* the same cannot be said for many of the NA versions.
*As an example the engines in the M850's are rated at 523hp and have been dyon'ed 100% stock and well documented at ~600 hp

sounds plausible but sorry @GrandSport 2017 my faith is in ZERV. Here’s to hoping your wrong and he’s right.

While there is a lot of documentation on the internet about the BMW 850M being under rated, I wouldn’t call it well documented, just incorrectly documented. Most people have never heard of SAE J1349, even more have no idea of what’s contained in SAE J1349. I have SAE J1349 and am familiar with what’s in it, there’s a section just for forced induction engines. Chassis dynos don’t have the same inputs to correct HP for FI engines, that’s where things go haywire. People look at chassis dynos as an accurate assessment of their engine HP when in reality, it’s just a tool to tune the engine or check HP increase after mods with the after comparison being done in close to the same conditions.
Sorry, there’s no such thing as “factory freaks” in today’s world.
