What gear ratios does the 572 come with from factory?

It has a 2.48 first and 4.11 rear. The stock tune hits the rev limiter before the mph clocks.

Maybe a hand crafted race car with a 632 cubic inch purpose built race engine doesn't belong in "Stock Eliminator" which originated as a class for factory production assembled car cars with at least 500 units made available and in the hands of the general public.

I like running against the new high performance production cars, but what is being allowed in stock eliminator has gotten ridiculous. Maybe that's the sticking point for NHRA?

I agree.

With the 572 and now the 632, Chevrolet has created "WOW" cars that really have no place in Stock or Super Stock.

DG, that horse left the barn in 2009. And it was the sanctioning bodies that let it out. I think that most Stock racers agree that ALL (Mopar, Ford, and GM) FACTORY BUILT RACECARS belong in Super Stock, or Comp. ... (anyone that has ever owned one knows it) ... However, that's not the way it is, and it is 2023, and this is the hand we've been delt. If you wanna keep running Stock Eliminator there's no choice, other than deal with it.

The ZL1 was not "dragstrip ready" as delivered. Do those modifications and it ran A LOT better. Add 50+ years of rule changes and it's rated only 15 HP above the factory rating. Do you have dyno numbers that you can share on that combination? It was competitive in 1969 with very few modifications and I believe it's still competitive at it's current rating?
