Need more torque and speed.
 

Have a 1997 EZ-GO gasser and I use it to pull our two drag cars at the track. The car it pulls most is a Rear engine dragster that weighs about 1800 lbs but occasionally will need to pull a 2800 lb door car. Do I have to go the BBlock route or are ther some other mods that would get me the results I am looking for? I don't need to go 40 mph but 15-20 would be nice.

Thanks in advance. Popper :help:

You should be able to pull that around the track without a problem, shorter belt and adjusted gov would be the thing to do. (easy 20mph+) maybe the 28deg driven clutch, that kinda depends on where your trying to pull it

People have mentioned a shorter belt. Can I get this though a dealer? How much shorter do you buy? I think I may have the clutch reworked also. I have had it for four years and not had to do anything other than change the oil. But they thing has never gotten up much speed when pulling. Where do I find info about adjusting the governor?

Thanks Popper

you may want to look into adjusting the valves. they are bad about tightning up over time. I recommend you adjust them evey time you change oil. takes about 10 minutes to do.
