Curious to see what happens with 91 octane. Never had any knocking but I do get a CEL occasionally for both banks running too rich(DME leaning out the engine) Thanks V

Yes you want to run premium.
The reason you never had any knocking is that the DME retards the timing if it senses pre-knock conditions. Something the knock sensors pick up that your not going to feel.
Run the highest octane you can get. The ignition will advance more and you will get more power.
