Been up to 142 mph and no floating (Except the hood) looked like a sheet in the wind..

Thanks guys,

Tire pressure set to 35 PSI. Only 15k on this set and it did the same on the last set.

I think it must be an airflow problem. Too much through our huge grill openings and nowhere to go.

Since I can't lower my ride (I live in the country on a dirt road and need what little ground clearance I have) I think I'm going to have to check out some aftermarket hoods that let air escape from under the hood.

Yep, my hood gets shaky too at high speed, so's my wife.

I thought it was the Foose hood ( the OEM didn't stay on the carlong enoughto know) but after you guys comments, I won't b#tch at Chip then lol.
