has anybody played with external brake boosters like what you gert in the early falcons and some of the old dodge trucks?

My neighbour suggested that I should run one of those since I will be using 4 wheel disc, and the licensing dept will like that better than no booster. And it gives the standard benifits of boosted brakes.

Cause they are external, you just stick em wherever it suits you.

Yep, a mate had one under the dash in his corolla, they are in most vans and other vehicles with limited space around the m/c.

Be aware that a booster does not affect the actual mechanical breaking of the car, just reduces the amount of pressure needed to apply the brakes, some people will say it makes them spongey.
