Now, I don't know the real results but at least the pilots believed that they could fight with the LW fighters with their P-39s.

If you want the actual results, go to my website http://www.ghostbombers.com and click on the link for I./JG 2 in Italy: February-April 1944

There was also a P-39 action against I./JG 2 on 2 April, which is described there too.
