Runs smoother even after going back to 93.....

Think about it like this.....
The car recognizes when you put 89 in it and the computer adjusts.....
Why would it not adjust for higher octane.....
Just make sure it is unleaded gasoline......

My car started running better after using the higher octane...
A lot of it has to do with what else you have added to the car.....

Gaining Horsepower By Pulling the Fuses In A Late Model Camaro
Added Jul 11, 2011, Under: Camaro

If you are new to owning a 2010+ Camaro SS equipped with the L99 or LS3 V8 engine, then you may not be aware of a simple trick that could unleash a few extra horsepower.
There are two specific spark timing tables housed in the memory of the vehicle’s Electronic Control Module (ECM). One is used for cars running high octane fuel and the other for when the vehicle is using low octane fuels. Whenever you drive the vehicle, the ECM is constantly making decisions based on the data it receives from all of the sensors in the engine and exhaust. Over time, the ECM will set your Long Term Fuel Trim (LTFT) to the low octane tables.

The low octane is for 87 and the high being for 91/93. There has to be hundreds of threads about it. There is no 100 octane table.

Since you say your car makes more power on 100 what did it dyno on 93 vs 100. Surely you have documentation for such a claim.
