Super Corsairs, designated F2G, were built by Goodyear in 1945 with its first flight on July 15 of the same year. They were powered by an even larger Pratt & Whitney R -4360 28-cylinder four-row air-cooled, radial engine which produced 3,000 horsepower and had a remarkable 50% increase in its takeoff power

The increase in takeoff power didn't really help the performance. Rate of climb slightly increased-basically the same as the F4U and top speed actually decreased.

But it was slower and its rate of climb was only about 40 feet per min higher than the Corsair.
The Bearcat had similar performance with a smaller engine.
