I would like to know of any modifications to improve the speed of fighters for this purpose, and what result they had.

you could start by checking this long thread over at the LEMB, 'Intercepting Mosquitos'

Tony the two volumes on JG 300 will help with JG 300's part. 1./NJGr 10 flew the ops as stated but in part through the fall of 44 till put back in intercepting RAF 4 engines. Kommando Welter-10./NJG 11 of course with the Me 262A-1a and much later the B-1 two seater but that is really another story covered later in a seperate volume
