A little bit of my retirement package is going into a 748R, savings seem a bit pointless (possibly an on-call osteopath too) Now they had the bigger airbox which fits into the frame which isn't the regular trellis.
Probably a good idea as the motor is a real air gulper with big valve lifts and the above intake shower injectors would work less well with even more turbulent air.
CV's do prefer more constant pressures so a box makes a bit of sense and the volume can be used to do a bit of pulse tuning but it's maybe more effective looking at the stack length and clearing any steps in the intakes above the carb or injectors.
