Hello I have time only for a short reply
The max speed depended on many variables and is always problematic and also varied from plane to plane.
2) IIRC after some internal strenghtening (for ex. pistons?) the "Start und Notleistung" power setting was allowed for DB 605A, at least in LW.
IIRC there was a switch in the cockpit which allowed the use of "Start und Notleistung" in Bf 109 G. It was ordered to be disabled before the internal strenghtening of engine was completed/a strenghtened engine was changed in place. And of course if one can disable a switch one can also enable it. But I have no knowledge that that was done against the order. Early DB 605As had enough reliability problems without someones intentionally overboosting them. All this info is unchecked, now I must spend a little time with my child.
