Ugh....my head hits the desk everytime I see a new thread about octane ratings for a V6. Please make it stop! lol
There ARE dyno sheets, there ARE different graphs and videos showing amounts of timing being pulled (always less with 91 vs 87), and we have explained how the Bosch ECM seems to just add timing until knocking is detected.
But in every thread there are comments like these to be found:

Same end result.
The LLT is calibrated for 87.

Manual says 87 or better.

The owner of the cat ran to his cousin's house with the liter box to show him the results of his sister's boyfriend's Camaro.
It is a mystery that not one single person can provide a graph ...but I believe in miracles, sir.

Oh God thats hilarious....actually I'd like you to provide to me the proof you have found that running a higher octane DOESN'T help at all? We have provided evidence that it does. You just haven't seen it, so stop assuming. So until you go get a V6 and run dyno tests and monitor your AFR and show us proof that 93 does nothing at all....I'll stick with what we've seen.
I'm not saying the difference is big...of course it isn't. Some say they think the car runs smoother, some say they think it runs strong, and some say they can't tell a difference at all.
Thats all fine and dandy. Go do the research and then make up your own mind.
Peace.
