145mph vibration problem

I get a mad vibration in the drivetrain at speeds 90mph+ seems mechanically unsafe at 145mph like something should break. Any thoughts :confused

I thought it might be the driveshaft but I couldn't figure out why. Ya Utah has some pretty strait highways you can get up to high speeds on no problem.

Find a shop that can balance a driveshaft. Or, better yet, put the money towards an aftermarket shaft (if you're still running the stock one).

You might just wanna put that money into a roll bar and 5 point harness first.

Re: 145mph vibration problem

I was thinkin more like a 10 point roll cage then I will push for 175mph
Got to use that W speed rating on those tires sometime.

W is up to 169.
Be careful at those speeds. Killing yourself isn't the worst that can happen...
