Because they were not eligible for Trans-Am Ford stopped development and support for them. They were also available in 1200 CFM versions that some drag racers used, the concept was each intake runner had a venturi over it for direct pathway to the combustion chamber.

Had they be accepted for Trans-Am I am sure you would have seen a lot more of them and continued development.
