I did mine for awhile and I found the cart ran the smoothest at 22mph, but I felt it wasn't worth the risks involved and moved it back to the original position. Now I have carts fly by me, but it doesn't phase me a bit. So it take 5 minutes longer to get to the course, when you're playing you go the same speed as before.
Yes the Villages Golf cart store set ours at 17. We turned the screw just a tiny bit and now the cart goes 20. Every time we take it in to service they turn it back to 17.
