Default QT Performance?

I picked up my new 18QT this week from VGC, overall very nice cart, very quiet, and greatly improved ride. My question to all is about the performance/power. I've noticed it is slower starting from a standing stop and it seems to lack power going up hills especially up the ramps of the MMP tunnels. I still have my old cart, a 2011 carb refirb from VDGC, that I've been driving for over 4 years and it flies up the hills in comparison to the 18QT.

Two of my neighbors have 18 QT's also noticed the poor performance accelerating and up hills. Theirs are set for 24MPH max and mine for 20MPH (as is the 2011).

Has anyone else noticed this lack of power? Any suggestions on what can be done to give it a little more kick?
