Hello again,
I do not remember the precise figure but typically I set the overheat parameters of the engine so as to get a maximum flying time at maximum emergency engine setting at SL of about 5 minutes with cooling flaps opened (with some variations around that figure depending on the engine).
As for the supercharger question, I do not remember the exact installation of the R2800-8 on the Corsair (I do remember that it was quite different from the P-47 installation) but the difference in air pressure associated to 2000 ft in altitude is coherent with a ram recovery pressure with and without flaps or louvres.
