Octane fuel for (assumed chipped) all track 2017

1. All track bought used two years ago runs great but notice some jerks which I know can just be the DSG transmission. I’ve always put it 87 octane, but part of me thinks the last owner chipped the car because it seems pretty peppy.
   

Does higher octane make a difference for this particular Situation?

I just filled up with 93 yesterday to see if I notice anything but curious if anyone has their own thought thoughts?
