Default "Octane Boosters" for VQ37 Motor

I have a new 2013 370Z with a totally unmodified (so far) VQ37 motor. The "91 Octane" engine performance seems to vary by oil company. Chevron has been OK so far. No pinging, just not enough grunt. In any event, I have tried Lucas "3X Octane Booster", STP Octane Booster and "Super 104". Does anyone have an opinion on getting the most out of the the stock motor via fuel additives or are all of the after market "Octane Boosters" just boosting us with snake oil?
