[DML] PRV Performance - Set me straight please

["Rick" <rdevaux@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've got a stock '80 B28F in my Volvo 262(K-Jet, Lambda/cat/freq 
valve, de-accelerating valves on throttle plates, ignition 
distributor with vacuum delay solenoid, stock F cams, stock F 
pistons, 004 warm up regulator, no micro switches, same full 
distributor as a stock Delorean).

I also have my original B27F that has the smooth throttle plates.  
I've also got new B28E cams and pistons, and a B28E dizzy from a UK 
spec Volvo.

Question:  What is the best configuration I should go with to improve 
performance?
My consideration:  Use B27 throttle plates, de-Lambda the engine (O2 
sensor, cat and freq valve), use the B28E dizzy and remove the vacuum 
delay solenoid components, B28E cams and pistons, advance timing from 
10 to 13 and adjust CO from 1% to 1.5-2.0%.
I'm also trying to hook up with a B28E fuel distributor and CPR.

When I'm looking to locate the B28E fuel distributor do I need just 
the distributor or do I need the distributor and the air intake?  
Which CPR should I look for, 038 or 066? Remember, no micro switches.

After replacing all the components, what is the best way to tune for 
best results without the Lambda system?

I'm also considering doing some head porting.  Does anyone have any 
pointers/tips on doing PRV heads?  I know the exhaust really needs at 
least gasket matching and a good cleaning and polish.  What about 
doing the intake?  Any tips on how to match the intake manifold to 
the heads?

I have a source to have headers made but I'm trying to get 
information on what the best specs for the headers will be: runner 
length, tube ID/OD and collector size.  Thanks for any and all help!
