Install a Big Block Kit , Vegascarts.com , Just remember if you have it you will used it. My cart does 25 maxed out and for me thats just enough to pass safely if needed . I ran into a guy the other day that took his cart to Wildwood Muffler and they modified the exhaust.
It sounded great.

And I was just thinking about putting nitro in my golf cart.

RICH GO AHEAD AN DO IT. If you don't you'll always wonder what if? In 1969 I had a small interest in a Dune Buggy shop, after massive amounts of Liquid refreshments We decided to put a Chevy 283 in a VW Bug. The motor was in the front. You sat in the back behind the Transmission. After flipping the prototype. "What a Wheelie" we got the gearing right and installed wheelie bars. We took it to shows to "HYPE" the business. It would get very hot inside so we installed a moon roof and fans. Still very hot. Wasn't youth grand?

Not to throw a bucket of water on your idea because it does sound interesting, but I think that there are rules against modifying golf carts to make them go faster. You might want to read up on The Villages rules and regulations regarding golf carts. You don't want to do something to your vehicle that makes it illegal to drive.

Anybody know the Legal speedlimit for golfcarts in The Villages? Maybe check with the sheriff's office?

Time on your hands? Why not volunteer for a youth group teach young ones how to build carts etc. Staying safe keeps insurance and medical costs down.

Don't forget to save up some of that extra money for heavy fines if you drive it in The Villages.

I'm in as crew! We are starting with a new unit correct! Is a great idea for the driver for those oh $hit moments drivers suit just needs a rear flap

Not a bad idea...Theirs always some head work and a header....I did talk with a machine shop about doing some work...but he only will
work on my engine with his extra time....no need for that.

I installed a 750cc Briggs V-Twin Vanguard engine from a Bandelero race car. I used the stock transmission from the Club Car and a snowmobile front and rear clutch. Stopping was going to be a problem so I installed 4 wheel disc brakes, it really stopped great and had lots of torque. I did this before any kits so had to make some parts. Ran the engine into a stock club car muffler so exhaust was fairly quite. The most noise came from the air cleaner on the two barrel carb. I did this to a Streetrod so they have a longer wheel base and steered and drove nice

There are kits now available to install Briggs and Honda engines in golf carts. I have seen 4 cylinder motorcycle engines with transmissions installed and flip over backwards. Have fun with your project. At one time in my younger days I built a few race cars so could not refuse the golf car modifications

We have the British Lawn Mower Racing Association in UK. and if you look on Youtube you can see how fast they can get the mowers to go.
The only stipulation is the machines must still be able to cut grass!

The Villages had drag races for golf cars at the polio grounds during some special event. The first year they had them I won the gas car class and also beat the electric car winner, they had it the next year but then stopped having them.

There used to be a Goldwing mechanic in New Hampshire named Jim Venne (R.I.P.) who operated Venco Wings. He had a 1500cc six cylinder Goldwing engine stuffed inside a golf cart. Man, whenever I saw that thing tooling around, I had to laugh. It was awesome. Just the other day I was talking to some friends about it, saying how cool it would be to have one. And BTW, it was a fairly quiet machine.

I'm thinking scooter size not holding would be better suited.
