- With a standard centrifugal clutch and a 10-tooth driver, a Honda 5.5 engine go kart will typically reach speeds of around 30-35 mph on flat terrain.
- With an upgraded torque converter and a higher-ratio driver, speeds of up to 40-45 mph are achievable.
- On a smooth, paved surface, a properly tuned Honda 5.5 engine go kart may be able to reach speeds of up to 50 mph or even higher.
It's important to note that operating a go kart at high speeds can be dangerous and should only be done on a closed course or track, with proper safety precautions in place.
