According to the DB601A manual 1.4 boost was for take-off only ("am Boden bei Abflug"). The highest boost mentioned for flying at ground level ("in Bodennähe") is 1.3 boost.
There is nothing preventing the pilot from using this boost during combat at ground level. However there is no evidence at all that this boost was authorized or even used against regulations (e.g. pilot anecdote) for any other condition than take-off. Of course power and speed can be higher if the engine is mistreated, but this incorrect handling should not be considered during performance dicussions and should actually be penalized by the game.
