Iron Dukes??

What ever happened to the Pontiac iron duke engines? They seemed to be the "ticket" for a 4 banger in comp back in the day. I used to enjoy watching a Pontiac T1000 with a iron duke and a glide get some wickes spots in IHRA superstock a decade and a half ago, anyone know where it went. Is anyone still racing one? Was the little Pontiac "out scienced" by the more modern 4 cylinder engines or were there issues with dependability or parts? Any responses are appreciated. Don Jackson
