Wow, Kartermicah, I'm sorry that so many people have been so discouraging. This is not too common here.
Guys, Everyone knows you can achieve your heart's desire with an engine, and if a briggs isn't enough you can tear one off of a bike of your choice and essentially write your own top speed. I don't feel like kartermicah was ignorant to this fact. If you know a motor and controller setup within his price range, or within his speed range, let him know. If your engine is faster than an electric motor, that's expected, and there's plenty of threads for talking about that. But please don't discourage him. We're in the electric section here. The engine talk is for all other sections.
There's just nothing wrong with going electric. Sure he won't have a kart to take to the track, and maybe he could go a lot faster for cheaper with an engine. Maybe he has 3 super fast engine-driven karts and wants to venture into the electronic world.
How much does your rolling chassis weigh and how much do you weigh? This will help in estimating your actual speed.
