Octane does not create power, period. It simply allows power making changes to take place. If you took an engine, and placed it on a dyno w/ 87 octane fuel, and rung it as hard as it would go, and it didn't have any mechanical failures, and then ran the same engine, the same way, but with 93 octane fuel, the results would be the same, OR LOWER with the 93 octane.
You have a better chance of slowing down with higher octane than you do of going faster. Understand this: higher octane essentially means less flammable, slower burning fuel.
Do not believe for a minute that simply using a higher octane fuel will make a stock n/a vehicle faster, because it ,won't.
I would like to see time slips from your experience.
Take care,
