Look, what you're asking for is an official performance stat or chart for the P-51K. Based on the performance going either way depending on late or early models, it was too close for anything to be detailed. There aren't any... Sorry, but that's just the way this is. This one will have to be based on the best stuff available. Those stats are pretty typical for what I've found so far, except the obviously underrated the engine and probably based the climb off that. I bet they were using the Merlin V-1650-3 for those stats... Anyways, the import thing on that list is the top speed. Top speeds are most often taken for planes fully loaded for combat with external stores, so there you have it. It says the K is slightly faster and points towards slightly smoother performance. They sometimes swapped out engines. Anyways, just have faith and trust me.
