I'm not sure about the gearing ratios on club cars but a change from (13 to 1) to (8 to 1) will get you around 6mph. There is also a point where your engine won't have enough power to pull the load if you go to far (with the gearing, including the big tires) Meaning you may hit your 50mph on the downhills and flat ground but going uphill you may actualy loose speed over what you have now. I doubt this gear change will effect your low end power much. Maybe Tom at CPP knows just how far you can go with it.
