I enjoyed your post Viper2000. Fascinating.

Any one know why the German engines were so lightly boosted? Was it a design decision or the quality of the fuel they had?

Such a complicated and interesting subject it is hard for me to understand late at night... For a second I wondered if the Merlin engines superchargers had a ratio of 2.7 because that is the natural log "e"... then in a moment of inspired confusion I imagined that was also why they have optimum RPM at 2700! hehehe
I'm going to bed...
