You'd waste a lot of money.

Octane is a rating of the fuel's resistance to knock. Once you have enough octane to prevent knock, you gain nothing by adding more.

Will it make a huge difference? Not on an otherwise stock engine. You'd be wasting money and killing your cats for barely any performance gain. |

You need to be tuned to properly run it and once you are you need to keep running it on that tune. Gigigantic waste of money for you. Probably cheaper in the end to buy a ZL1.
Sounds legit.

A tuned N/A LFX will probably show no knock retard (KR) at all on 91-93 octane. Adding any more octane will give you no benefit. In fact, you would probably have to change your spark plugs to even run something like 112, and as others have said, kiss your cats goodbye.
