No, and it's actually illegal to do. CB radios come from the factory transmitting four watts, which is the legal limit.

How do you eliminate engine whine in a CB radio?

The whine probably comes from the alternator. You will need a supressor on the alternator output. Another way, is to use an in line filter in the power supply, to the CB, to stop interference on the power supply from reaching the radio. You need an auto shop to check the alternator. The in line filters can be got from radio Shack and look like an in line fuse.
