Here's some fairly consistent data compiled from several sources:
DB601A-1 (1 min): 1.40 ata 2400 rpm (1100 HP @ 0 km)
DB601A-1 (5 min): 1.30 ata 2400 rpm (990 HP @ 0 km)
DB601A-1 (30 min): 1.23 ata 2300 rpm (910 HP @ 0 km)
DB601A-1 (cruise): 1.15 ata 2200 rpm (810 HP @ 0 km)
DB601N (3 min): 1.35 ata 2600 rpm (1175 HP @ 0 km)
DB601N (30 min): 1.25 ata 2400 rpm (1020 HP @ 0 km)
DB601N (cruise): 1.15 ata 2300 rpm (910 HP @ 0 km)
However, I suspect the DB601N was actually limited to 1.25 ata and 2400 rpm operationally. With full power, Emil performance would have been astounding, and I'm sure we'd have read about that in the history books ;-)
