The XVI, operating at 25lbs boost could achieve 358 MPH at sea level. That's around a 24MPH gain across the board.

Is if this aircraft already didnt have enough going for it....   ;) 

**I'll take the bvait**

If the Spit16 gets the engine "boost" it should have and it keeps its over-modelled roll rate, I'd have to say that if the Spit 14 stays perked then the Spit16 well deserves a perk of equal of higher value to the Spit14.

Saying the roll-rate of the Spit16 is over-modeled is a bad argument and makes you look bad UNLESS you have proof to back up your claim. If you don't, simply pointing out the spixteen outrolls nearly everything will do nicely.
