I assume you have an LX because if you pop your hood and see your cat, then you have an LX. If you cat is glowing red then you have some blockage in your cat converter. Something has built up in there causing a restriction of airflow which causes that glowing red when at high acceleration. you need to clear the blcokage out then everything should get back to normal.

Is it the cat itself or is the header glowing right before it goes into the cat? The header glowing is not a problem, but if the cat itself is glowing, that might be a problem. And like thiscrackerntam said, you should check your plugs. Are you running stock plugs or have you switched?

Ok first off... what's with the CAPS???
Second... if you felt something wrong with your car (you said it felt slower and your cat is glowing red), why on earth would you install a nitrous kit? If something is wrong with your car... installing nitrous is a huge mistake.
Third... again...something is still wrong with your car but now you're going to install an aftermarket header? You're going about this all wrong.
And finally... now you're debating a 75shot!?!?!?!??!?! Something is wrong with your car and you're only making it worse.
Honestly, this is probably the dumbest post i've ever read

^^haha isnt that the truth! When I first put my nitrous kit in, I didnt even waste my time with the 35 shot...I went straight to the 50 shot, checked the plugs, then put the 75 jets in and havent taken them out since.
well, thats about the same I did......I installed last wednesday with a 35 shot! and I switched on friday night to 50 to be ready for saturday night races....and now thats why I'm asking about the jet set-up for 75...cuz it doesn't say on the jet chart!
