Just because it allows more speed doesn't mean you have to go faster. Most of the Corvettes I see traveling around TV are going 35 to 45 even though they can go 160. Call Todd Casey.
When you drop the RPMs in a gas cart (or any vehicle) you get into the lower part of the torque curve and the engine likely will labor from rest up to speed. That will make the engine less reliable over time.
