I am currently getting Income based JSA because the benefits
people think I haven't paid enough NI contributions.
Now, I haven't been out of work for about 6-7 years now
so I should(i think) have paid enough NI.
I recieve aprox £94.00 on income based JSA, my question is
would I recieve more if I was on Contribution Based JSA?

As has been described, the £94 is the couple rate. You must have claimed as a couple based on the family circumstances.
The NI conts can be checked if you take your P60's for the Tax years ending March 07 and March 06 to the Jobcentre0 -
