If it wasn't dangerous it wouldn't be as fun. Due to gearing, mine tops out at 105ish. You gotta give up some more details about that car. 140 is getting quick!  At some point your going to have to seal up parts of the grill and work on aerodynamics. I doesn't matter what you do to the suspension if the front tires are off the ground.

Ok guys all of you have indicated on what I need to do. I'm on it next week!!! I talked with a guy today that has 727 trannys with overdrive. Opinions on that? Sorry I'm off topic.... 
There's a guy in our club with a 69 ABS plastic spoiler from a 69 Camaro on his 69 Road Runner. Actually look pretty subtle and most people don't reconize it as a Camaro piece. It does't stick down nearly as much as the one topside posted, but it's off the shelf, not too expensive, and because it ABS plastic it will give if you get it caught on something.
They are real cheap, and do give some...but you have to watch them if you are winching the car up onto a roll-back tow truck with the winch cable.  
(I had just installed it too..and was putting the car on the truck to run it over to the exhaust shop..)
On a Camaro at least..

AutoX, any chance you could post a picture of the RR with the camaro spoiler? If it is subtle, that might be what I do! Lee.
I can't seem to find a good picture of it. It's sort of hidden under the bumper. Still searching pictures....

I'd start with checking the front suspension and alignment.
Even with old shocks, that will not control compression and extension. The side to side you are complaining about is not common for a B body, worn suspension or not.
If you do decide on an upgrade, big spring rate and stiff shocks. Z rated tires and have fun!

I dunno, Had a cuda long ago that was doing same kindof thing at 135 mph on a straight road. It was still gaining speed, and as soon as it started lifting up then settling down, then up again, it was time to lift. After slowing it back to about 85, which felt like 30, I was figuring the car was trying to get on top of air underneath it. Make sense? That was stock suspension, and I was glad to not have to turn the thing at that speed.
