Put a new head on my car, after a valve bending spree.
Can a clogged catalytic converter cause poor idle? I know that I got VERY poor acceleration outta the car, and it would not boost past 2-3psi. Tried adjusting the fuel pressure to no avail. Vac is reading @ 10 which is bad, but as far as I can tell, there are no leaks.
BTW the cat was glowing red hot, but made no horrible smell.

The fact that your cat is so hot would indicate that but I can't vouch for the idle problem. I once had an old truck with a plugged cat that got super hot and killed acceleration. This is a good chance to gut it and buy a spare hi-flow unit for easy swapping.
