Isn't that because all you are doing is overriding the automatic boost control system.
With an engine modification to the Merlin III and the use of 100 octane fuel it was possible to to override the automatic boost control system and get up to + 12 lbs boost although this is considered an overload condition.
With the automatic boost control engaged the boost is limitied to + 6.25 lbs.
Unfortunately we do not have this in the game currently - e.g unmodified Merlin III engine using 87 octane fuel.
