Fiddling with the governor on a gas cart does a few things besides making it faster!
It technically voids your manufacturer's warranty and your insurance coverage, and makes you a potential recipient of speeding tickets!
Seems to me that 20 mph is fast enough. If I am in that much of a hurry that it's not, I'll use the car rather than the cart.
