There's still data out there, but getting harder to find now that the Coyote motor has been around a while. These were the numbers for the 2011.

Horsepower

412 hp @ 6,500 rpm, 91 octane
402 hp @ 6,500 rpm, 87 octane

Torque
390 lb-ft @ 4,250 rpm, 91 octane
377 lb-ft @ 4,250 rpm, 87 octane

Based on that math it's probably safe to assume that the 2015+ at 435HP on 91 (Ford published spec) would be around 424HP when running 87.

What the above doesn't show you is the fairly substantial difference in the midrange from going to 93.

That would be interesting to see. Along with e85.

Not many, very few in fact, sell 93 in California. There was a place in Sacramento selling 100 for the lads hitting the 1/4 raceway but it was stupidly expensive...not even sure they are still doing it.

2 stock 2011-2014 Mustang GT dynos. 91 vs 93 and 87 vs 93.

91 vs 93: Final run it made like 3 rwhp more and 0 rwtq more than the two best 91 octane runs.

87 vs 93: 6 RWHP peak difference. Not that much, but look at the difference in the mid range, especially 4500-6000 rpm. Looks to be ~20 RWHP difference in places (corresponding increase in torque, of course)

5.0 GT Stock dynos 91 octane vs 93 octane
First two runs the car made essentially NO more power.
Then on the third and final run it made like 3 rwhp more and 0 rwtq more than the two best 91 octane runs.

They probably put in the ability to adjust up to 91.5-92 on the high rpm range which gives it a couple extra hp but no additional torque.
I think we can safely say using 93 octane instead of 91 octane gains you 3-4 hp up in the higher rpms for a bit, but as you can see it's not sustained over a large rpm range. So it just may be an anomaly that it made the additional 3 rwhp at the peak.
So 91 octane state people don't need to feel bad, without a tune, guys in 93 octane states aren't getting really any more power out of their stock 5.0's
87 vs 93 Octane Dyno Graph

Below is a dyno graph showing the difference between 87 octane and 93 octane. According to the shop, no other changes were made to the car/tune/etc. Similar weather for both passes, car at normal operating temperatures.

Note: 6 RWHP peak difference. Not that much, but look at the difference in the mid range, especially 4500-6000 rpm. Looks to be ~20 RWHP difference in places (corresponding increase in torque, of course).
