3 ways I can think of but all have negative repercussions:
1. Lower tire size, puts a bigger strain on trans and lowers torque
2. smaller pulley on trans and/or bigger pulley on engine, puts a bigger strain on motor
3. increase engine rpms by messing with the sail switch, possibly blow the engine.

Wouldn't lower tire size decrease speed? You would want higher tire size.

Taller tires will give you more top speed but you will lose take off speed or power to climb a hill.

Increase engine RPMs

Why would you want to make it faster?

1. A smaller tire will give you more low speed torque.
2. I bigger pulley would make your engine work less but make the hydro trans work harder.

3. I agree.

You can turn the hydro at a high rpm but with our doing some mods to it it's not going to last
