Roller Rockers in Stock

I don't mean to help jump the thread off-track, but I was at one of the F.A.S.T. (Factory Appearing Street Tire) races about a year ago at US-131 Dragway. I saw a couple of the cars running 130+ MPH on basically bald red lines, which is probably a recipe for disaster. The engine's looked stock, but internally were mechanical roller with 500+ cubic inches and sky high compression ratios.
