Default timing vs octane question

When going from 91oct to 93oct, what would be a good increase in timing to go with? I was thinking about 2 to 3 degrees for starters. Is there a general equation out there somewhere for general timing/octane ratio?

If your goal is to make more power, then look else where, increasing octane and advancing timing on a stock low compression engine will do virtually nothing.

Running PR3 pistons or aftermarket?

I've got a high compression LS/Vtec too and had both. I actually like the PR3s better than my SRPs.
