Expensive, high octane fuel DOES NOT make additional power. It is simply necessary when you have higher compression. Run just enough octane rating to have a stable flame travel, any more is simply wasting money. Changing your cam will not change your engine's octane requirement (except at very low engine speeds) adding a blower will.
