if you fitted a new cat you mite have gotton more bhp back as some dum dums put additives in the fuel which doesnt fully burn up and gets blocked in the cat, also over time the cat will also get block up by over fueling (happens to all cars time to time) so if your going to do a full engine build get a new cat. (easyest way to check yours is fit a de-cat and if you get more than 3bhp your cat is totaled)

Well done dum dums you have done half a servicee and managed to put enough junk in the engine to block the cat which will LOWWER PERFORMANCE!!! Also you can not high the comp ratio by putting thick junk in with the oil either the rings and gaskest are fine or there not it can not be fixxed by additives! only buy new parts! Also injector cleaners donest clean the injectors it blocks up the fuel pump filter injectors and cat so well done.

There is no way I would add that stuff to the oil. If you think about the way the internal parts of the engine work, it is thickening the oil and preventing it from circulating correctly. That will lead to overheating and oil starvation. The additive in the petrol is a waste of time, it is similar to transmission fluid & alcohol and does nothing. The most difference will be from the air filter and spark plug change. So glad you put a correct large surface area air filter in !
