Theoretically that could be just fine, bu 10% ethanol may be enough to make that knock.
guess that would cover it. How much knock will our engines take without doing damage to them? I think they are pretty stout engines. Of course once I picked up on what it was doing I stopped pushing it until I could get the better gas in the car then I could boost the hell out of it.

what is the easiest way to learn engine dynamics?

Honestly, I just do a bunch of reading and searching....

From what I have heard, the rods are pretty strong, but the pistons are potentially weak....a lot of people upgrade the pistons if you are gonna push it past 400 hp....
