Default will high octane fuel hurt anything

I was wondering if running a mix of 93 and like 110 octane will hurt anythnig.
I will be using a 150shot of nitrous with racetronix plug n play fuel pump kit, and 42# injectors.

As long as it is unleaded you will be fine. The higher the octane the slower the burn rate is and less likely to detonate. If it were cheap enough I would run it all the time. Just make sure it is unleaded and you will be fine, it will not hurt anything only help prevent detonation or spark knock.
