If you check NII VVS tests, you can see maximum 20-25% improvement in other performance charts, (speed, climb, turn time) nowhere near the 55%. Obviously prototype performance. If you still think this isnt suspicious...

I really don't see where your 55% come from, from il2compare I get climb at sea level La-5F: 17.5 (21.5 with boost) and La-5FN 21.2 (25.3), which both is around 20% better acceleration for La-5FN
