But my eclipse is soon to be running and I might want to run it strictly on race fuel, Im more concerned if it would help or make things worse to run it like that?
Yeah, that is in your head. 110 isn't going to make more power than 92 octane on your bike. It doesn't have a knock sensor and has no way to adjust itself for higher octane. On a N/A vehicle you want to run the lowest octane it can safely run for the most power. If you adjust the timing for race gas, you can make more power on N/A because of the higher octane.
