I'm seeing a bit of a different picture here. It was the Ta152 that went on and on and on while the Spitfire +25 died after only a couple of minutes. I should mention that this would constitute an extreme example. Full throttle with boost on and using default radiator settings. Twice that was auto and once that was closed. I imagine the I-185 might last a bit longer in this test if I opened the radiators.

EDIT: I also redid the test on the Spitfire (same model)... it was 3:42 seconds before the engine died completely.
