Not at all!
Just make sure your rads are open enough to keep the temps in operating range, no more, no less.

I just did it offline. E-4 With 50% fuel, full ammunition load, and a dive of 500 meters. I engaging WEP at full throttle and at approximately 10 meters altitude. I was able to maintain 480-490kph for the duration that WEP was engaged. When disengaged it rapidly dropped to 460-470kph.
in level flight I was able to attain and barely maintain 470kph. Any deviation (like pulling up out of the waves LOL) dropped it to 460kph.
The only other thing I could think to add is to make sure your trimmed properly.

EDIT:Should add that I started with the same 109 (E-4, 50% fuel, full ammo) at 500 meters, cruising at 1.2ata, 390kph.
