it can possibly make less power, although it can also make the engine run cooler, so there is less power loss from heat. But everything on the Titan is regulated electronicaly, so there is chance it may run better on premium because it can advance the timing slightly. Not worth the extra 25 cents a gallon to me though. Fuel is expensive enough, and the compression in the Titan is obviously not enough to REQUIRE a high octain fuel, so the benefit of running it diminishes some. You probably would not see any significant improvements anyways unless your talking about 110 vs 91 or such, and I'm not sure that the titans system could even adjusting the timing to advance that much.
I run 111 in my ATV because I raised the compression by changing the doms to smaller ones in the head, I also advanced the timing using a timing plate. it does give it a bit more power and it smells really good when it's burning . However putting too high octaine in it can reduce HP. I prefer to run it mixed so I have about 100 oct since I really don't NEED 111.
It's hard to say if the Titans electronics advance the timing enough to notice significant gains. But I have heard a number of people say it does improve performance. I find it hard to believe. I hear the same thing when people put race gas in their ATV's usualy this is an indication to me that there carbs are jetting too lean, and the power increase is coming from keeping their motor cooler (better suggestion wouto re-jet and run normal fuel)
The Titans system is regulated electronicaly but it would make the most sense to run regular fuel IMO.
BTW Race Fuel 111 etc is less combustive than premium just as 91 is Less combustive than 87
