Never heard of it. Wonder if you can do anything about it with a programmer.
Did you see any mention of what "high speeds" are? Looks like it wouldn't be too tough to fab one, either way. They've probably got track more seat time behind more chassis/engine combos than anyone, they'd probably find the issues such as this.

Here's an interesting little piece we've developed.
Our LS7 intake setup is very effective at pulling in cold air, but we've seen a bit of fluctuation in the MAF readings at cruise due to the effects of the airflow over the end. This means a bit of surging.
The solution is this baffle. It cleans up the airflow quite a bit and stabilizes the MAF readings. It makes almost no difference on the dyno but improves the driveability. It's also hard to see when the car's not on a lift.

It would cause a laminar flow of the air to occur at the upper portion, this May relieve the turbulence which is causing the air to buffet in front of the snorkel. You have nothing to lose.

Doubt elevation has an effect. I used it on mine mostly b/c with my bumper cover the intake was visible. More concerning to me than ram air effect surging was the the thought of water being rammed if I got caught out in the rain.
