Default GMR 98 IN. Kit

I've been researching a new build for my stock (StageI) 05 Road King Std. I've really been looking for a one stop shop package kit, and I've stumbled on the GMR site. I've seriously been thinking about doing it myself (install). Has any one done one? If so, any troubles? How was GMR for support? Just wondering, I'd like to get some feed back. Oh, the particular 98 In kit is the 9.75:1 CR kit, not the other 10.5:1. Overall how was your performance (any DYNO runs)?

I installed the 98" in my '01 Road King Classic last year and it's great. No problems, good suport and decent dyno numbers. It's a very good, mild build kit.
I had the heads done by Steve, had the throttle body opened up and installed a PCIIIusb. Also did the cam gear drive upgrade. Everything went smooth. Used the instructions from the kit and my maintenance manual.
90.1 HP
103 lb/ft torque

Thanks for the good info on the posts guys! Bryan, you put the 98in stage II kit? Was is a bit much? We ride long distance, and two up alot around here in Ft. Collins, lots of big mountian rides in the summer. I weigh around 230, and wifey is a buck thirty or so, plus our gear ect. I'd like some nice torque starting around 2500, or 2750 up to 5000. I'd like to go to the Stage two, but am worried about pump gas? Also, did you install comp releases, if so automatic, or manual? thanks in advance to any more info. I'm happy to find that GMR is a stand up one stop shop, nearly everything else I've heard about them makes me think I'm going in the right direction.

if you can buy 91 octane or better i would do a stage II..i have comp releases but never use em...the cam timing negates thier use....you live in an awesome part of the country, especially for riding...you'll love the kit....i make 90+ ftlbs at 2000 rpm [8D]
