Default Happy but disappointed all at once

Here's my deal, I've been on here awhile looking at posts to see what to do and what not to do. So I've got a 90's model club car carryall turf 2. I've upgraded motors to a vanguard 23 hp motor. I've lifted it 6in with 26/12/12 dirt devils on it. New clutches new wider belt. Still has governor on motor(which I want to take off but not sure about tearing into motor to remove completely). Was out on it today and haven't tested to see how fast it was. Has lots of power and take off which I hate to give up. However the fastest I got it to go and a flat straight away was 20mph. I got that out of the electric one with the same tires and lift kit on it. So I guess my question is what next. I ordered the hi rev kit from ccp with the timing advance says a monkey can do it and I guess we will see lol. Take governor off and fix the inside which I'm not very confident doing with a new motor. Anything else besides changing the rear end gears to help with high end? I don't want to loose my low end torque because I used it for yard work(I've made it a dump bed). I guess I was expecting at least a 30mph golf cart after all the work was completed prior to rev kit install. Thanks for help or wisdom this site has been a big help to me just needing more guidance.

Removing the governor makes it different motor. Do you have a tach installed?

Yeah it will be completely different without that governor. It needs to be able to rev a little past 4K to really enjoy it and feel it pick up speed. With 26" tires you'll be over 30 MPH

No but next purchase because I know I need one before removing governor. How far do I have to go though? if I put timing adavance and hi rev kit it. take care of governor do I have to do more or can I try that. What do you put in place of governor, in the hole on the motor? I don't want to tear up new motor so if I need to do more to be safe I will. I'm seeing that you have to take governor arm out and take weights off cam or replace cam. Then remove something else(don't remember what). To get a few more mph do I have to rebuild whole motor? no governor, new cam, new rods and timing advance, new billet fly wheel............do I have to do all that for a few more mph? can I just put new hi rev kit and take care of governor?

No, that's should be plenty to make you happy. At least try it first. Remove governor components, remove weights from cam, either tap the hole and stick a bolt in it or use JB weld. Get a tach. I wouldn't hold it at 5k for long. You can advance the cam one tooth if you want, makes more torque but looses a little pull up top.

If you want more after that you'll need a performance cam.
