Re: Vanguard Peformance Stages
My build so far
30 in 16hp vanguard Early rockers are Aluminum I think pre 1995 mine has those Cheetah cam made by precision 310 lift 250 duration add power throughout the ENTIRE rpm range not just top end as stated by the OP Isky valve springs from cpp work great Two new steel pushrods the billet pushrods are not needed unless you’re really cranking it above 6000 rpm Mildly ported heads again don’t go hog wild with the dremel it’ll hurt more than help 20 hp two barrel intake with Nikki two barrel K n N air filter and adapter from performance Vtwins a really nice billet piece with a cool Billet throttle arm Runs like a scalded dog all the way thru the rpm range I try to keep it 5000 rpm and under Also of course the governor is removed Next thing on the list is a tuned header |

Re: Vanguard Peformance Stages
Once you get your Vtwin built to handle performance use, add a Nitrous Oxide kit for even more HP.
Plowman's Carts has a nitrous kit available. (from Plowman's Carts website) https://www.plowmanscarts.com/carts....1458264869&v=2 NOS FOGGER SYSTEM Price $499.00 Details "Plowman's has engineered a NOS fogger wet system for golf carts. We have tested this system from 5HP to 20HP, this is a complete bolt on kit, including a two and a half pound bottle. We have done all the leg work for you on this kit. We will send all the jets you need to tune your system from 5-20HP, just bolt it all on and go." |

Re: Vanguard Peformance Stages
I read that as higher lift and duration for higher RPM/power. Not just in the higher RPM range...

Would you recommend option 1 or option 2? I am getting ready to install a 23 in my DS. I won’t be running a cheetah cam, at least not in the immediate future. Is there any extra wear and tear or harm by running the heavy duty valve springs? |

With a cam you can get more rpm, but to me it still not necessary unless you have a built engine with billet connecting rods and you operate above 5000 often. Stock rods are good to 5000 on occasion but not continuous. The debate is the wear with bigger springs. With proper cam and lifter break in the CPP springs should be fine. I wouldn't go any stiffer than those. I have heard of some rocker arms breaking, so billet rockers would prevent that. For most golf cart uses, a stock 23 with a rev kit is usually plenty of power. Hope that helps. |
