He ends up accidentily putting 14 gallons of 87 octane fuel into my z. After the car is filled up we both notice what has happened. I still had about 5 gallons of 93 in the z. I immediately head to the nearest auto store and buy some octane booster for the car, should i be ok?

As frost said, you should be okay. Just drive the Z. It says in the manual if you drive to an area where the highest grade is 87, you can fill the tank with it temporarily. Just try to put 93 when the tank is 1/2-1/4 full.
