I would upgrade to 48v. That + bigger tires will give you greater top end speed.
If you upgrade the controller to at least 400 amp (plus the solenoid) and change ALL the cables to 4 gauge I would think you will be pleasently surpirsed with the nice increase.

I did the controller/bigger tires/ cable upgrade and I am very pleased with how my 98 cart runs. I am still at 36V. With your older setup I am told that 48 volts can make a big difference.
