Default Need Advice on 2013 TXT Gas

I have a 2013 TXT with the Kawasaki motor, 25" tires and jakes long travel lift. I was considering selling it and getting an L6 but when I started pricing it out seems to make more sense to stretch mine. What is the best kit? I am going to replace the VW Bug shocks with Fox coilovers from a Predator or similar to get tighter springs because the bug shocks compress a lot once you sit in the cart, is there a front coilover that is better? Finally what can I do to get more torque from the motor? From what I can tell it is stock clutches but it will do 30 mph so I'm thinking that something has been done to it but maybe just a throttle adjustment. I'm thinking once stretched it will struggle to carry 4 people and 2 dogs. Thanks in advance!

For reference, I just got a brand new 2018 L6 for $9k + tt&l. When I priced it out at dealers the quotes were all over the place, from $9k to $12.5k. For what you can sell your current car for, and find a L6, it might not be worth the extra hassle. With just a throttle/governor adjustment my L6 was doing 26 with 4 adults and 2 kids.

I figure I can get 5k-6k for mine so I'd be in to a new one for 5k minimum in my area since my wife really wants upgraded seats after riding in a friends cart. Add the stereo and long travel suspension I'd be in for another 2k at least so that is 7k. If I stretch mine I'm in for 1500, new seats 500, new top 800 so 2800. I could wrap it and get a big block and still be less than 7k with a pretty unique and powerful cart. Of course I'd be doing all the work so not sure how to quantify the value of just getting the new one and doing the upgrades later. I'm lazy so it is attractive to think of just picking up a new cart instead of all the cutting, welding, etc....
