That solves the '68 B/SA pic, for me. Dealers usually ran the cars while they were still the current model year.

According to my math, using an online calculator, a factor of at least 391hp would have been needed to put a '69 Bird into class B. S0, anything from 391 thru 414 would put it into B. 415 would put it into A, & 390 would put it into C, IF my calculations are correct.

So, could it have possibly been 395, 400, 405, or 410, in '69, maybe ?

Yes that's the right track. I dont KNOW for sure what the RA2 was factored to, so in theory it could be up there.

The RA4 was factored to 380hp, so unless there was a special RA4 factor for just the 69 Firebird (not likely back then) I'd rule that one out.

When I look at where the RA4 GTO's ran, their RA4 had to be factored to 380hp, maybe 385hp but no more than that, and Dwight S said 380hp on the other thread.

So I'm still betting Ben Wolf was a really high factored RA2, or a Chevelle300 or Nova L72 car (1969 was the 1st year for auto trans for the L72). Just dont know.
