Doesn't 93 octane + 6 more octane points = 93.6? I believe that's right, and no it won't make a difference..

Nitromethane is the only thing that you can pour into your tank that will make a noticable power increase.

Well you said 6 points in the topic, so that's what I was going by. It won't give you a noticable difference either way so there isn't any point in wasting money on it..
