I dunno, those graphs before, are nice...but lets face it...the Graph for the Spit, the one that shows blazing speed is on 12 pound boost. And that would Cook your engine. So really unless you are in emergency go for broke mode you won't beat an ME-109. And heck In real life emergency power was for just that, not chasing an ME-109 when he's extending all kill crazy.

Five minutes was more than sufficient for most combats and you could normally go for longer than that should the need arise. You would be very unlucky if everything went very quiet after 6 mins
