Marc,

No; the upgraded LH Jetronic fuel system in the B-280F PRV-6 improves the fuel system but has little effect on power output. The additional horses come from modified internal engine modifications; i.e.. higher lift cam and larger valves that increase to compression ratio to 9.05:1.

The B-280F from the Volvo 760 is not an option because the engine configuration will not fit the DeLorean without extensive modification.

Can the new 760 GLE upgrades be transferred to the DMC?
