Is the assumption perfect pavement, or bumpy and rough, or both?
What, specifically feels unstable?
I have read the driveshaft needs an upgrade at really high speeds, like a carbon fiber one:

Mine is stable all the way to about 160 mph.. I had the car on the autobahn while I was stationed in Germany. I have all my suspension done minus the k-member, upper and lower control arms.. and i had 275's all the way around

Not really.
Too much effort asking the same old questions about current set-up, speeds you are encountering instability, what is the car actually doing and at what speed ...
Asking generic questions like "How do I go faster?" without any supporting data doesn't get any where.
But with an STB, you can at least leap tall buildings in a single bound ...

Thanks to everyone that has contributed info I can actually use to fix/diagnose the issue.

I would assume some welded SFCs should help. Have you had your alignment checked, and ensured everything is snugged up/torqued right?
Have you considered a Watts Link? Strano mentions that running it allowed him to take a lot of previously necessary wheel spacer out too. That's how much lateral movement there is from the arc of a PHB. I am not certain how much this applies (if at all) in just straight lines, however. Maybe Strano can chime in too.

I'd start my checking the alignment and running a bit of toe-in on the front to make it track better than zero or toe-out.
But the aero on the car sucks. Anything you can do keep air out from under it, like a deep chin spoiler, etc helps. But you have to remember the cooling air all comes from underneath too, block it off and your car overheats....
I imagine what you are feeling is a sort of buffeting? That's air.
