Narrative:
Go around [at] approximately 90 feet due to air turbulence from previous B767. Approach was normal visual backed up with ILS 27 iah. B767 had cleared runway when we were approximately 900 ft AGL. No previous gusts. B767 turbulence caused right wing down followed by slight deceleration. Returned to 27 for normal landing[suggest] more space for B757/767.
