Looking forward to not asking people to hop off when we climb semi-steep hills...

A stock 420 clone has quite a bit more power than a stock GC engine, in a G9 it felt like double. We have a ditch about 6 ft tall very steep, stock engine on 22 tires would barely get up it at 2mph. The stock 420 clone lifted the front tires off the top of it with two people on the cart, it just charged up it, starting at bottom with no run at it.

Sho you are right. My tired KF82 would barely run 12mph loaded on flat ground. I took my cart to the island a couple weeks ago with the clone swap complete and was blown away at what it could do on flat ground and 4 people on board. My engine governor kicks in right at 40 mph. Typically never run that fast but I had to see what it could do.

Very nice work! You have any videos of it? Would love to hear how it sounds with that muffler. Thanks

Most of us just post a video YouTube and then link it here.

You need to upload your video to youtube -- then post a link to your video.
