87 should be just fine also. My 496ho's only require 87.

87 is the minimum but 89 should give you slightly better performance and is better for the motor all together.

87 octane is minimum and running any higher octane is waste of money and will possibly hurt performance and for sure will not help performance.

Will 93 octane hurt a 454 Mag EFI, Griff?

It won't actually hurt it, but it will make your transom more black. The higher octanes won't burn as completely on an engine designed to run 87. 87 will burn the most completely and make the most power.
