Search the archives, you'll find all the real worl, factual proof needed to give you the right answer. The gist of it is that unless an engine is designed for higher octane, it will not function as well when using it. Octane is the resistance to detonation (meaning it's easier for low octane fuel to release its energy).
There IS a HP decrease when you run the wrong kind of fuel, it's proven with dyno graphs. Octane has absolutly nothing to do with carbon buildup either... sorry.
