I think this has been discussed a couple times, but higher gas prevents knock. And my 350 knocks with anything less than 89, so I imagine the 370 is even more dependent on higher quality gas for knock prevention because o the compression ratio.

I believe you can eventually damage your piston rings, damaging your pistons, so forth and so on.
