Sounds like some sort of stumble..

Dying fuel pump...
Bad plug wires....
Weak plugs blowing out...
Weak coil(s) making insufficient spark under load...

If the steering wheel is shaking.
Could be axles or mounts.

He just got it from tyee bout a week ago and he likes to make the car pull and the way he described it was once hes going about 110 the motor just wants to hop so I told him id ask I thought it might be the mounts but didn't know why the engine would want to hop like that

My money is on axles though. I had a similar issue in my DSM, it was an axle.
