Default Ive got the shakes!

I have a 95 Accord with a JDM H22A making somewhere between 230-250hp after all my mods (hondata, skunk2 cams, aem pulleys, header/exhaust...). My problem is that under hard accelleration(over about 1/2 throttle) my car shakes left and right. The faster I go, the more it shakes. Ive already replaced the CV axles with Prelude axles and I have tokico adjustable struts. I have also checked my wheels and one is slightly bent, but balances. I have it on the passanger side rear. If anyone could help me out or give me some guidance here I would really appreciate it.

First things I'd suspect (in order of preference)
Inner/Outer Tie rod ends
Steering Rack Mounts

Alignment specs. You may have insufficient caster; and one (or both) wheels may be flapping from side to side like a tired Stop & Shop Shopping Cart's caster wheels.....

Hey I need to check the alignment, that makes alot of sense. I know the tie rod ends are in good shape. I already checked those, as far as the rack mounts i should check those too. Thanks

Bad thrust bearing on the crank perhaps. If you did a lot of mods to increase the HP but didn't upgrade the crank in any way, that can cause some problems...
