pros more horsepower. Cons is posible death from inproper use.

Kartless....
Pros: Faster, you are directly connected to the engine
Cons: possible to blow it up depending on motor, most will shatter a rod and put a hole in the block(fatal injury HIGHLY unlikely, injury at all is unlikely in most situations) but some motors (those Chinese honda clone engines) will blow a flywheel magnet(which HAS killed before).

Well...not really. Horsepower peaks (or shortly thereafter) at governed speed. After that it's just increased RPM.
which makes you go faster because of the increase of rpm correct?

Correct.

Makes you faster but HP drops off with stock cams and carbs after 3600 rpm
Briggs somehow made their engines to have most horsepower at 3600RPM, so it's rather useless to run it stock ungoverned.
I like karts
Rotary Power!
^uh.... extra speed?.... you don't really need that much horsepower once you're going that fast
I remove the governor on my engines, but I try to keep it within a reasonable speed to prevent esplosions
