Given how much it shakes at ~85 mph, I can only imagine. I've also been thinking about the amount of front end lift that is being generated to cause it to shake as much as it does

I suspect the hood vents are a big help. I recall reading a post where someone removed the trim at the base of the windshield and it made the stock hood vibration go away.
I've also played with the stoppers. They help, but I think the optimum solution is to vent the pressure.
I would always run hood pins on an aftermarket carbon fiber hood. CF/fiberglass connections simply can not be trusted for too long from a fatigue standpoint.
