Default 87 octane vs 93 octane

so besides the exhaust video I recorded-

...I recorded a 35-105 mph pull. it was a nice day out and wish I could have run my 93 octane performance tune, but I had about a half tank of 87 octane...how much quicker do you think it would be for 93? heres the link...

i want to post the 93 octane ASAP but I need it to be a nice warm day to get decent traction....what do you think?

hah yea higher octane is always nice...but my predator tuner comes with a 93 octane performance canned tune. I am not going to run this at the track until next spring, but how many tenths do you think it will take off the 1/4 mile? I've yet to try it out, but am eager to see the difference. i need a nice warm day for the traction, since winter is closing in. I run 87 around town, but want to test out 93 before I have to go into winter mode, which includes de-tuning my car back to stock and throwing 200 lbs of sand in the trunk, lol

hah. for winter, I have to go with less power and torque. as much as I love having a bit more power and torque, I cant afford to have it in the slippery stuff. I commute with this car, and especially in the city with stop and go traffic, the more traction I have on hills, the better, lol. I hate having to do it, but winter is winter, and I have to respect the conditions and treat my car accordingly. I want to get as much out of my car before the cold, crappy conditions set in tho....so I think I'll set up the 93 for some fun
