Well...hmmm...  The Air Force page shows the horsepower rating at 1695,
see:
http://www.af.mil/history/aircraft.asp?dec=1940&pid=123006547

Most everywhere else it says 1590.

One of those scans from the manual shows WEP at 3300 rpm.  So perhaps 1695
@3300 is with WEP and 1590 @3000 is w/o WEP?  WEP basically jumps the MP up to
67 Hg.  Normal max throttle w/supercharger is 61 Hg up to 30,000 ft (sea level
horsepower is available up to 30,000ft).

Best,

Jim
