Spit 1a 100 octane gives 12lbs boost with ABC selected and gives 9lbs boost on full throttle, the gauge still only shows up to 8lbs but if you put the mouse cursor over the gauge it shows actual readings.

another point with regards to performance, bearing in mind a test I recently did, the atmospheric model seems to be ISA +10...or 10 degrees C above standard conditions, and this is going to give a reduction in performance compared to data in the manuals, a rule of thumb or very rough and ready way to calculate density altitude is to add 1200' to your altitude for every 10 degrees above standard, so with the current atmosphere performance at 1000' should be roughly equivalent to performance at 2200' on the graphs.....but I somehow doubt that would equate to a loss of 20/30mph.
