Based on the business I have been receiving in the past year or two I totally disagree, if anything they are being rediscovered and their popularity is growing!
Ever take one apart to see if those boosters could be repro'd and fit into a std TQ?
I imagine some of the tricks that went into the Comp Series design could be incorporated into the std TQ's, No?

Some claim they have run them on their cars and eventually replaced them but what does this really add up to????
it could mean a lot of different things. if your suggesting that they're so hard to tune and that's why most people give up on them, then either your right, and everybody but a select few people are just too stupid to tune them. or, perhaps people did learn how to tune them but were happier with something else. MPG is nice for a daily driver, but 1-2 MPG on a hot street strip car or a bracket combo where a holley will run better just seems like a no brainer. as already mentioned, parts for holley's are everywhere. parts for the plastic fantastic, not so much.
That was my circumstance.
Much info and tech support back then for the Holley, that and cant recall seeing many a racer run one at the track. Dont need much versatility when your at WOT for 1320, hence the change here. Not for lack of tuning ease or ability to do so.

I've taken many of them appart but haven't gone into any frankenstein experiments with the boosters, mainly because I haven't really found the need to. I suppose anything is possible if you played with them enough.

not sure what boosters are being talked about but i have read where you can cut out the outer ring of the booster on the 850 TQ making it about 1000 cfm's, and if you remove the choke plate and related shafts add another 60cfm's. BTW these TQ's are also popular with the big cube Buick guys.
