Default not if you aren't set to a race mode

Even a chipped ECU will not advance the timing enough to take advantage of 100 octane unless it has a specific race mode.

You could get some boost, but largely you are wasting your money. Mix 100 Octane and 91 Octane 50/50 and you will likely get the same effect for less money unless you have a 100 Octane chip.

Default you've got a heat problem

Does high octane reduce combustion temperature? I guess reducing knocking automatically reduces combusion temp.
