Currently the clock only shows 8 with boost cut-out. Also you have to have boost cut-out to exceed 6.2 lbs /sq.in

I think this is a bit strange. I think our Spit 2a is no Spit 2a but a Spit 1a with small modifications.
The graphics model is of a Spit II. It has the six exhaust stubs per side instead of three, and there are other elements.

However, it doesn't even have the performance of a historical BoB Spit Ia at +12.
