Default InTune tuner caused valve clatter?

I recently got one of those DiabloSport InTune tuners from AM. I didn't realize that I forgot to set the octane rating on all the tunes, so when I got it they were all 87. So when I got the tuner, I ordered some new tunes with better octane ratings but in the mean time I loaded up the 87 performance tune.

I ended up hearing valve clatter when I was in 4th or 5th gear, I guess the timing was too advanced for the octane rating.I set it back to stock and I'm going to fill my tank up with some 91 when I get the new tunes loaded onto my tuner, so its not a big deal or anything.

But I was just curious, has this happened to anyone else?

more than likely have detonation. Too low of octane or bad gas with too much timing or load will cause it.
