Default Increase hill and overall speed 2000.5 series

Hi all, new to the forum and looking for some advise. Just bought a 2000.5 Club Car DS Series (2000.5+ version with black struts, etc.). Speed is somewhat acceptable on flat streets, plenty downhill (of course), but way too slow up hill. Looking for advise to get some speed up hills and more speed in general, since I'll be forking out some cash to do that. Don't need 30 mph, but wouldn't mind getting to 22-23 mph with solid uphill speed for the best $$ possible.

- Has original motor and (white) controller.
- No lift
- Customer tires and rims (but ~same diamater maybe a little wider)
- Still need to add rear seat to fit family of five
- To be used only in house community only, which is mostly hills (I'd say maybe 30 degrees for a couple hundred yards at most).

Been researching a lot since I got it a week ago. Local cart shop says I need the whole enchilada: new motor, controller, F/R switch, solenoid and 4 ga cables. Looking for advise on whether this is the only way to get what I need for my situation. I've seen some comments here and there, but jus tnot sure they are relevant to my current specs and what I'm looking for it to do.

Thanks and look forward to learning from you all and enjoying the new ride.
