Nobody say this yet. The motor has 11 to 1 compression ratio. That's high for a street motor. Also the combustion chamber design in the head has alot to do with it too.

The 370z just like the 350z are designed with a part called a knock sensor. The whole purpose of this part is to detect knock if it occurs and then will compensate by adding more fuel to the chamber to prevent further knock from happening. Knock can occur due to the fuel not having enough octane. Running 87 octane will decrease your hp but that is all it will do.

I know. Just brought that out if the OP didn't know. Alot more goes in to it. Timing, valve lift, valve duration, valve overlap, A/F, etc.

I think it's interesting how in some parts of the country 91 is the highest you have. We have 93 readily availible and some of the cheap stations run 92.

My Z runs on eggnog. No knocking or pinging here. I do add rum for a nice boost though.
