It is possible however that if you mixed the booster to less than the recommended amount of fuel it could cause problems especially with the fuel pump.

I agree. I've used it before in my '97 GTP with no ill effects. However, it is imperative to follow STP instructions for proper dilution. One bottle per full tank. I recall Stp's Octane Booster is a two in one product. Octane boost plus combustion chamber cleaner.

If mixed properly it should not damage the CAT convertor or 02 sensors.
However, you never know.
