Default I gotta say that I was shakin' a little myself when
I go @ that speed, I have gone faster though.

This was taken somewhere out west, and on the same day I had the speedo buried, over 160 and things go by pretty quickly @ that speed.

Be careful out there.

Default Make sure your lugs are tight!
I torque mine down to 85 foot pounds.

Some go up to 91 I have heard.

I would say tires is the number one culprit at that speed.

Default Rebalance tire/rim?
Tire pressure?
Bent rim?
control arm bushings?
