As kodename was saying, it's more about fuel density than octane. Octane only raises the extreme at which the fuel autoignites.

The fact that you're using something that burns with an entirely different energy output means that you'll be injecting an entirely different volume of it.
If you're going to use race gas, you might as well go to your tuner with a full tank of it and get the most out of your ignition timing that you can. Just remember that your car is going to pull as much timing as needed out of your tune when you go back to pump gas on the same tune, and you're going to notice it.
