Have GBoost springs, buttons, and HD belt so I have done everything I can for the Kawasaki but spending a grand for a 670 isn't in the cards right now.

Yes a 16hp Vanguard Vtwin will have about double the torque of a stock golf cart engine, and would be a vast improvement. With that said, 6 people and a cooler? That's a lot of weight. Not sure any of these options will turn that limo cart into a "hill climber". I'd definitely do some performance mods no matter what engine you choose. Remember, you get what you pay for. A $400 Harbor Freight clone engine isn't anywhere near a $1700 23hp Vanguard as far as power, longevity, etc. Spend the money once and do it right. For that big cart I'm thinking a big vtwin with Mikuni slide carb, cam, rev kit, port and polish heads at the bare minimum. You'll also want to hook up a one wire alternator to power that rig.
