The higher the octane the more you can advance the timing. The more you can advance the timing without getting knock, the more power you can get.
On an NA car the hypothetical gains that are possible aren't that high because there isn't that much going on I guess.
On forced induction it allows you to force more air and more fuel AND advance the timing
Correct me if I'm wrong guys. I know it's a bit more complicated than my crap description, but I tried to keep it simple
