It will be ok! if your engine doesnt ping under a load it will be ok. the timing has an auto adjustment to compensate.

Help the UN feed people by playing a game Go to freerice.com For every correct answer in the game, rice is donated to hungry people It's FREE, fun, and educational.  To feed animals for free, go to http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive.  "What does it profit a man to gain the world if he loses his soul?"

But you won't get the best performance out of it.  You are wasting the advantages of the higher compression of the engine.
