Ofcourse a race fuel tune will allow for more HP since you will be able to advance timing a bit furthur.
On a Stock C63 when using VP103, I have seen gains of 10whp on the dyno.

Please dont post and misinform members when you havent tried or know what you are talking about!
Yes, your car will improve eeven if its not tuned. a higher octane fuel will improve burning of the fuel completely (which does not happen with normal premium fuel). It will also eliminate any knocking present.

Sorry SLS, SM-AMG is right. The octane rating of a fuel is no more than a rating of how resistant it is to predetonation.
Unless your computer is reducing performance due to predetonation, a higher octane fuel will do nothing for you.
Why should you believe me? I have worked for more than a decade in the fuel marketing department for one of Canada's largest fuel refiners. While not a product quality expert, I have worked closely with them for several years.
