Nope and yes it may.
You're tuned for 93, higher wont add any power. I would imagine you could tune for 116 (no idea on that) but the way your engine is built (if its stock) it will compress and fire 93 octane most efficiently, higher octane wont add any power.

I imagine you are referring to either C16 or Q16.. You cant run either one on a stock engine without damaging 02 sensors as well as cats. What is done to the engine now that made you think about running such a fuel?
