Higher octane gasoline will not give you any more power.....

In vehicles with knock sensors, however, the performance can
be improved slightly using a higher octane gasoline, due to the
ignition timing being advanced further....

It can make a big diff if you are running a turbo or supercharger. You can run higher boost on that stuff without detonation. Unless you have an extremely high compression engine or a power adder it probably wont do much.
