either your butt dyno is very miscalibrated or your engine is crapped out. higher octane will make NO performance difference on a good engine. The higher the octane the slower the burn. it won't increase performance. High performance vehicles require high octane to keep from having predetonation problems. That higher octane doesn't make them go any faster either- - -it just keeps them from breaking stuff.
once again, our stock engines do NOT require more than 87 octane unless they're in bad shape.
