Your ignorance is bubbling out from your comments.
Want to know why he went 6.6 in the 1/4?
BECAUSE HE HAD AN ENGINE DESIGNED TO BE RUNNING 110 OCTANE!!
Is a STOCK 2.5L running a STOCK PCM going to see gains from 110 Octane? NO.
The higher the octane rating, the SLOWER it burns. Thats right, SLOWER!!
The only time higher octane is needed:
1) Runnning Boost
2) Higher CR.
3) Running Highly Advanced Timing.
All three of these cases will cause either detonation or preignition. This is cause by raised cylinder tempatures and pressures causing the A/F mixture
to burn before the spark occurs. The higher octane fuel will reduce this occurance.
Perhaps you should understand the reasons for higher octane usage, other than "OMG........110 is much better than 87, cause higher numbers are better!!!!"
