WFO Radio’s 1978 Pontiac Trans Am Super Street build featured in the 2026 Summit Racing Catalog
Picture this: It’s early January, and the latest Summit Catalog lands in mailboxes across the motorsports community like a holiday gift from the speed gods. For decades, this thick tome has been the bible for builders, racers, and dreamers, packed with parts that turn garage projects into podium finishers. Being featured in it? That’s not just an honor—it’s a massive accomplishment, a badge of glory that says you’ve arrived. And right there, smack in the middle, is the story of Project Pontiac!
Flip open to the spread, and you’re hit with a visual feast. There’s a pull-out poster that’s destined for shop walls and man caves: a glossy, high-res calendar showcasing the Trans Am in all its glory—sleek lines gleaming under the lights, tires smoking on the burnout pad, and that unmistakable Pontiac arrowhead grille snarling at the competition. Each month marks a milestone in the NHRA Super Street build, from the initial teardown to the final dyno runs, all leading up to the 75th season of NHRA racing. It’s more than dates; it’s a roadmap to victory, reminding you that every bolt tightened and every part sourced from Summit is a step toward the winner’s circle. But the real magic is in the behind-the-scenes details spilled across the pages. Dive in, and you’ll read about the late-night wrench sessions at WFO Radio’s headquarters, where host Joe Castello and his crew transformed this ’78 Trans Am into a Super Street monster.
We’re talking Summit-supplied goodies like high-flow fuel systems, beefy suspension upgrades, setup that pushes the limits of what a classic Pontiac can do. The article peels back the curtain on the challenges—the finicky tuning, the custom fab work, the heart-pounding test runs—and the triumphs, like nailing that perfect 10.90 index dial-in. It’s a love letter to the NHRA’s diamond anniversary season, hyping the rivalries, the rival engines, and the unbreakable spirit of drag racing. Of course, the catalog isn’t the end of the story—it’s just the spark. Summit Racing Fuel Factory FOGGIT Fogging Oil Wilson Manifolds FTI Performance Straub Technologies Total Seal
