Colby - I'd call the guys at Plum Quick. I went through the same thought process myself and my local dealer wanted $125 to do the Speed program 4 upgrade. A new motor from Plum Quick is $225 and you should get at least if not a higher speed than what you'd get out of the Upgrade. In addition, you'll get more torque too.

If you don't have many hills etc I'd consider a rear end gear upgrade to like an 8:1 or something. You'll loose about 15-20% torque, but with the PQ motor that will net out and you should be pushing 28-30mph.

If you lift it, I'd consider going with one or the other, not both as that might be to instable at the higher speeds. I'm not sure as I don't currently plan on lifting mine. I'm doing both the motor upgrade and rear gear on my 07 this next week (just waiting on parts now)
