I want to use my cart like a small pickup around my property.....

Again thanks for the welcome and the good questions to answer!
along with what gornoman said.....and knowing how your cart will be used. I would highly recommend to upgrade to a 500 amp controller, 400 amp solenoid, 2 ga. cables (all of them). You didn't say if your cart was a Series drive or a PDS/DCS, but if its a Series drive cart a HD F&R switch.

NOW, if you have a series cart....even with all of these upgrades...won't be any faster, a jump to 48v or high torque or speed motor would be required. HOWEVER, by doing those upgrades allows the cart to use the available power within your batteries.

AND when its time for you to buy your upgrades....I would highly suggest you go to cartsunlimited.net (scottyb he is one of the sponsors on this site) where you can get the best deals in town AND the best customer service there is.
