Starting at 250 mph, full throttle, and 100% pp, nose trim 2 notches down, rads closed. if I nose it down into dive and crank down the prop pitch to 0% quickly and then bring it back up to ~77% and gradually lower throttle to about 77% in a dive from 250 mph, the planes gets to ~ 400 mph ias very quickly.

Yes, that works. But even you can get same propeller efficiency as 190, your weight is too great to overcome, Propellerthrust/weight is still inferior to 190's.

We need to know if 190's airscrew tip compressibility loss is modelled or not at high mach number where 190's huge "advance ratio" making efficiency even worse than P47's.
