Slightly improved engines each provided 50 extra horsepower for the initial climb. Revisions to the flaps also aided post take off acceleration, but more importantly they could be used to/from 190 KIAS. Maximum landing weight increased substantially so when relegated to freighting the DC-7B had a key advantage over the DC-7.
