Without a tune... Highly doubt it.. Might be wrong, but the if the car isn't tuned for 93 it probably won't run as well as it would on 87.

So true....
Thing is, there are so many factors that affect times including the weather. People just like to think they see an improvement because it makes them feel better. The only way you will see more hp with an octane improvement on a dyno is if the tune favored the higher octane in the first place.
