Imagine there are two tempestMKV named 'X' and 'Y' respectively.

X is equipped with a good CSP, while Y is equipped with a bad CSP. Everything else being equal. both a/c weight equal. drag coefficient equal, engine is equal ......

Within the envelop, within Vmax, both good propeller and bad propeller share same efficiency, they performs identically. good prop=bad prop=85% efficiency

But when dive into 0.6-0.7Mach which is out of a/c envelop, good propeller=80% efficiency, bad propeller=60% efficiency.

At first, both X and Y use 100% throttle in level flight SIDE BY SIDE, because they share same efficiency within evelop, both speeds are Vmax.

Then, both begin to dive at 45 angle, and after a while, both speed are entering 0.6-0.7 Mach, suddenly, "Y" CSP lose efficiency to 60%, while "X" efficiency is still 80%. That is to say, "X" engine could provide more thrust.

Question: Will "X" begin to pull away from "Y" from now?
