no, improved areodynamics on that prototype XP-47J got the 505mph in
1944. the hemi lacked a decent supercharger. put a big enough prop and engine on a brick and it'll fly. but it'll be by no means the fastest.
 
the XP-47H was a really great looking aircraft, to bad it was never developed
it kind of reminds me of one of my favorite aircraft the P-40

Yes that and a cranked up version of the R-2800. Same motor they put in the P-47M to intercept V-1 flyig booms and the ME262.


The XP-47J began as a November 1942 request to Republic for a high-performance version of the Thunderbolt using a lighter airframe and an uprated engine with water injection and fan cooling. Kartveli designed an aircraft fitted with a tight-cowled Pratt & Whitney R-2800-57(C) with a war emergency rating of 2,800 hp (2,090 kW), reduced armament of six 0.50 in (12.7 mm) machine guns, a new and lighter wing, and many other changes. The only XP-47J was first flown in late November 1943. When fitted with a GE CH-5 turbosupercharger, the XP-47J achieved a top speed of 505 mph (440 kn, 813 km/h) in level flight in August 1944, making it one of the fastest piston engine fighters ever built. However, by that time Republic had moved on to a new concept, the XP-72.
 
I'm building a P-40K-1-CU
