The only way to know for sure is do back to backs, winglets on/winglets off with your new injector setup. My dad (93 years young, still fly's and rides a motorcycle believe it or not) has sworn by Marvel Mystery Oil for as long as I can remember. He has it in everything he owns and everything he owns lasts forever, perhaps he drinks the stuff too. Also, since you are running gammi injectors and running lean of peak you are making more horsepower from that too. Between the Marvel and the lean burn I am guessing you are putting out around 400 HP (350 HP Stock) max and approximately 232 HP instead of the stock 203 HP at 58% power. An extra 30 HP is good for about 12 KTAS. This would account for your 7 kt increase plus another 5 kt penalty for the winglet. Hard to compare this stuff without using the exact same setup each time you test. Hopefully this issue will be settled once we refly Derek Hine's airplane at CAFE with the winglets installed.
