Your are wasting money, cam 2 or any other high octane gas is going to do nothing for your performance, nothing. The only reason you would use hi-octane gas is if you had 12:1 or higher compression. The high octane prevents pre-ignition in hi compression engines but adds no power what-so-ever.

Also you quad does not build a dependancy on high octane. The reason it run bad on regular gas is that your have it jetted for the CAM2 which has a lower specific weight and runs richer. Go back to gas and rejet and save yourself a ton of money, unless you have a build engine.
