It only goes 350mph at its fastest height.

If you are at sea level, I believe the top speed is 292mph

292 at SL is Correct for a Mk IIa running +9 lbs
For a +12 lbs boost it should (and does) get around 310-315mph

Well spotted... I pointed out that the Spitfire Mk IIa was a +12lbs boost version on the first page of this thread.
