A very quick comparison of various aircraft can be done at the following site....

Republic tried to sell the F-105D to the RAF in 1960. Part of the proposal was to modify the a/c for the Olympus B01 22R the engine developed for the TSR2.

The maximum 34200 lbs of thrust from the Olympus would have made a substantial improvement in the F-105D's performance.
