Could be the source of your perceived lack of performance.
Not sure, but that wouldnt explain why the mkI and mkIa have different top speeds.

The funny thing is the mkI with the 2 pitch should top out a little fast than the mkIIa... MkI should be 364TAS whereas the mkIIa should only make 354...

The main advantage of the mkii is the added hp and constant speed unit. But they only add in climb rate and not top speed

As of right now:
spit mkI - 260 IAS
spit mkIa - 220 IAS
spit mkIIa - 280 IAS

they should all be at least 280 IAS
