Be careful, if you can go over 20 mph, you now have an unlicensed low speed vehicle, if you get caught, the fine can be close to $1000, but glad it looks real nice. My understanding, FL law GC are limited to 20 mph, LSV are allowed to go 25 MPG but can travel on streets.

That seems about right for speed, how fast can you go on level ground?

I like the look of a cart with a little rake. I bet it handles better than mine. I have a 3 inch lift on my CC (I like the look) and 205-65-10s. I do not think it handles as well as original, so maybe I will do the rake look too?

Especially on lifted golf carts with 23' tires you'll gain more top end but lose a little take off speed.
