Does anybody here try fuel boosters on their stingers? Can you tell any difference? Any problems with the fuel system, O2 sensors or the cat converters, tks for your time!!!!!

It will coat your plugs orange and probably your cats. I heard it’s okay. Just change your plugs more often.

You realize you can get un-leaded octane booster that doesn't do that?

VP makes both unleaded and leaded versions. The leaded stuff is what you want to stay away from, it'll screw up stuff in your engine. The unleaded should be fine. I throw a bottle in when I do a race-day in the other car. You gotta research octane "points" vs. "numbers", it's not the same stuff and some of the stuff in the small bottles is NOT going to make any discernable difference in your car. There's a lot of BS surrounding this topic and lots of promises and hype that aren't based on reality.
