I agree, that prop indicates the last and most powerful engine/thrust combination that the P-51 was upgraded to. (I believe it was 1800 HP?) There are also some newer racing mods that surpass those improvements.

The P-51H could generate full throttle 2270 HP for short periods of time, but was rated continuous maximum at 1380HP. I think the engine overheats at continuous max power.
