Default Car Shakes at high miles

Hey guys, quick question, I just bought a 92 hatch with a b16a2 swap and is also boosted, not really sure on the set up I know its got a dsm bov, dsm injectors, its chipped, and seems to be tuned right, and I believe it has a eBay turbo. I got it for a hell of a deal, so im not complaining.

anyways at higher speeds during acceleration, it feels like my car wants to spin out, it moves left to right and the steering wheel gets all shaky. It doesnt feel like it needs a allignment, bad tire or any of that just feels like theres to much power for the car.

Is there anyway or anything I can do to fix that movement?

Missing the hood will cause the car to swirl left to right.
But I would get the tire balance/check tire to start, alignment, and then stop racing.
does it only happened during acceleration?

the hood that came with it is a pos hood that barely fits, i took it off to graffiti for my graduation, and I never stated I was racing it when this happened to me, and no its pretty much anytime over 80mph...but its really bad if i am on the gas.

tie rods could be done, car could be out of alignment, could be bad tires, tires out of balance.

Very true! My EJ has been having the same problem except the steering wheel moves slightly to the right after it shakes and then the tires follow after. Some have told me my rack and pinion got messed up because they did not balance the tires, nor did they do a good alignment job.
