The shaking is normal. It's all that power straining to be unleashed!

It is definitely not a car you should drive with your little pinky sticking out. Best to drive it with big, heavy boots...

The shake at idle is because the plug gap is to wide. I forget what the stock gap is, but I believe if you reduce it .002 or .003 it goes away. I'm sure the settings is in the forums somewhere.
