Rather than 91oct mixed with 105oct. I wish it was like $5.99gal and more available I would have a new fuel map made and run 100oct all the time
Beware the dreaded "placebo effect" that occurs with some mods...

Kidding aside, this likely isn't doing much for you, but there's probably a slight benefit since you've tuned the ECU. Didn't you have a dyno-run with some race gas added, and it gave a modest gain?
