an aftermarket vari/torque spring won't net you higher speed, maybe better accel but definitely limited. even an overrange kit if probably wouldn't push you much farther.

This is why I mentioned getting a used 2stroke. I'd like to know these "100" mods you speak off that you can do to a lil 4-stroke to get it going 50mph constantly. I've heard of guys that have converted their 50cc 4s into 80cc watercooled and still have dificulty doing 50.. but if you provide some evidence of the mods I'll back down. just stating my opinion thus far.
projects galore :nerd:

words of a true tuner. if you understand how a variator (front pulley) works, then you'll see you can't get any more top speed unless you change the geometry aka upsize both pulleys.

i have probably tuned more bikes then you have seen. dont question my knowledge, but rather, gain some yourself.
ive got money to put down that you dont gain 8mph from a puuly. let me know if you want to put some money where your mouth is.

i GAURANTEE, if all you changed was the pully, there is no way you will get 8mph. if you know anything about tuning bikes or modding bikes youd know that too. but if you have evidence otherwise, please share it. but i know its not possible. again. educate yourself before you open your mouth

just because you said it happened, dont make it true.
