I would have to agree. A marginal change in mph maybe, but 50%? Not buying it. Most likely there was some sort of computer computation that was thrown off. A snorkel pull is in no way going to dump twice as much fuel into the engine as a norm setup. The AF ratios and mapping simply wouldn’t allow it to happen.
