When you get a stat boost, whether it be from Infuriate or a Choice item, it's the actual stat that gets multiplied, not the base stat. Latios has base 110 Speed, and Timid Latios with 252 EVs has 350 Speed. Choice Scarf Latios therefore has 350 x 1.5 = 525 Speed. This is not how much Speed a Pokemon with base 165 Speed has (165 = 110 x 1.5). Choice Scarf Latios is way faster than a Pokemon with base 165 Speed, and this is how it works mathematically - boosting the actual stat has much more of a difference than boosting the base stat. In a similar manner, Fafninter has much more Defense than a Pokemon with base 144 defense.
True, Empirilla's base Attack on Infuriate boost is closer to 200, not 170. My bad.
