it depends on what dive angle you took after you turned off your engine at Vmax level and entered your dive. if the dive angle was steep enough, you will continue to accelerate due to gravity. if it is too shallow a dive angle, you will start to slow down. in the latter case, if you are below Vmax in the dive due to too shallow a dive angle and turn on your engine, you have potential excess thrust to tap into and get more acceleration from your prop. However, if you are above Vmax because your dive angle was steep, turning on your engine won't give more acceleration because you can not create excess thrust from your propeller at that point. Your TAS is too high. You are moving down and to the right on your efficiency/advance ratio curve for the given blade angle. Any excess thrust is coming from your dive angle/gravity. When your TAS is high enough that you get no thrust, you should lower your rpms to reduce your drag profile, provided you still have room to your Vne speed.

Come on, when my Tempest MKV dives to deck and level fly reaching 780km/h, how long will it take to slow down my Tempest to 600km/h? Only just few seconds?

Umm, who is chasing who here? Tempest has much more dive room than LA7. Push it to ~ 850 kph in your dive extension and zoom climb out from there. Don't waste the zoom energy to 600 kph unless your exiting the fight. Also, Tempest performs better at lower alt.
Face it BlackBerry, Crumpp won.
