Not really, what's in the game was actually flown for a time before 150 was approved. However, in the MTO 100 octane/65" manifold was used. This bit of information came from Art Fiedler 325th FG Veteran.
On that note, according to Mr. Fielder the super charger was set by the crew chief according to the pilots wishes, which is why the P51's in UI 1.2 and in HSFX were set to manual in order to allow the virtual pilot to select super charger when you wanted. It would have been optimal to have an additional setting in the UI to set your super charger setting but that would have opened a huge can of worms.
