Short answer - 72 ft/lbs.
Longer answer - Anti seize is a lubricant and is required to prevent galling between the Ti nut and steel stud. Over torquing can occur using anti seize vs "dry". I called Katech and IIRC was told to tighten a stock lug nut to some small torque (like 25) then torque to 100 and measure the angle difference. Step two was to torque a Ti nut using anti seize to the same 25 then go to the same angle and measure the torque.
Something along those lines. Maybe someone with a better brain can correct me!!
I used a digital level and this torque adapter from Harbor Freight:

I did it a couple of times and it came out in the 72 range.

if if you read permatex anti-seize instructions it says to use normal torque specs....it also say not for wheel studs FWIW.
