If by 'someone' you mean me, then I guess I should help here. I need some
thing to test my putative modifications to YASim on anyway.

I need a few hard numbers, which perhaps you could give me or point me at a
suitable web site/s:

1. propeller gearing.

2. max manifold pressure.

3. full throttle altitude which may also be described as the critical
altitude. 

4. the rated HP and the rated altitude.

5. take-off HP.

6. Copies of the relevant pages of the Pilot's Manual. Post these somewhere
that I can access/fetch. Particularly any description of the variable boost
control.

That would be a good start. If the best data you have is already in the
existing config file, then I can work with those. I take it that you YASim
config file in cvs contains the right locations etc for the engines? I can
re-measure, of course, but it will save time.

This should be too difficult if we can get some good data.
