As long as you're not driving it hard enough to cause detonation then you're not harming the engine. I've never heard it in the VQ37 but in other engines it sounded like marbles bouncing around inside the cylinders when you floor it. If you hear the engine making these sounds then back off. Drive it easy for a few days then fill up with premium.
