FWIW, the screaming eagle catalog says you don't need cr's for 255 cams on motors with stock pistons.

I can sometimes tell the difference if I forget to press the black buttons.I went with mcr,they do on rare occations need held in to blow out carbon and or oiled.This makes me wounder if the auto cr could eventually become useless?

Did 103 had starter kick back with difficulty starting at times. Did the SE compensator which helped some but did not resolve. Redid the build, do to lousy leak down, and Had Manuel CR installed no issued since. The Manuel releases are nice but are hot to touch.

I did not do CR's when mine was done, but if I had it to do over I probably would.

I can feel to the touch and hear if both mcr's are working properly.

Guess when summertime gets here I'll be regretting not having CR's installed. My thinking right now will go with the S&S east start cams

I installed a 103 BB kit on my 96 here in Vegas. I was going to use the 255 cams, but the cost of the CR's and their installation put me off. Instead I used the S&S EZ551's. Best thing I ever did. Starts easy and runs great with plenty of torque when I need it and I don't have to worry about manual CR's sticking or auto CR's going bad.
