Default Vanguard 23HP

bought the Vanguard engine kit 780 clutch, had to re fabricate the mounting plate first of all, engine was 2'' higher than seat . also put 6:1 gears, was really disappointed with power and speed, anyone done anything to help performance? 35mph at 3700 rpm.

You mean 23? What cart? Got a lift? How fast do you want to go? Lots of threads on power upgrades.

sorry been out of town,23 hp, 97 club car lifted, i think the 6:1 gear was too much gear, takes a lot just to get 30mph.

Too much gear. The 23 hp vanguard has LOTS of torque. No need to add low end.
