Re: Information about specially engined Me 109 G AS models

Hi, does anyone some information about the speed and ceilling of the specially boosted Me 109 G5, G6, G10 and G14 AS variants (and the number of them build-rebuild in 1943-1944-1945 would be very interesting if provided)
Sorry for sounding so slow witted, but when you say specially boosted G5, G6, etc. are you speaking only about the addition of the 603G supercharger to the basic engine, or are you talking about boosting beyond that? I ask because there was also GM-1 boost, though rare; and of course, MW boosting. In fact, in some of the later engines, both MW boost and the large supercharger were almost always included as part of the basic engine installation. This was not 100% as can be seen in some late 1944 G-14 production in which, for uncertain reasons, the MW unit was not incorporated.
