Stars come from the "factory" at 19.5 mph, unless you buy the 210 Amp battery, in which case, they come tuned for about 24 mph.
The answer to your question, is yes you can tune up the speed. You likely have a Curtis Controller and all you need is the software and cable to do it ... or, find someone who has both of those.

Do you mean 110A/150A or do you mean 110Ah/150Ah?
The STAR site has a page on lithium battery specs. The pdfs for the 80Ah battery lists a max discharge rate of 120A and the rate is higher for the larger batteries. Other non-Star pages will say cruising at 15mph requires 30A-50A so a battery with even a 120A discharge capability should easily power a cart at 24mph.
Star sells both "standard" and LSV models. The spec sheet for all models lists a top speed of "19.5 mph (25mph if LSV)." The speed difference is not likely due to the battery choice but the choice of an LSV configuration. Of course, the dealer may have adjusted the speed after it was received from the factory.
