check clearance of wear ring and impellor, no more than 1mm gap...
like jtexas said...start with the vts all the way down or in SKI mode, nail the throttle full blast, and wait about 3-5 seconds. Then start to push the VTS forward over the next 3-5 seconds. They plane pretty slowly anyway, but this is the quickest way I have found to do it.
If you are spinning and cavitating, you may need to check and/or replace that wear ring.

the 08 RXT-X has VTS
Replace the stock impellers with Swirl impellers (made by Skat Trak). You will lose a little top speed, but you will have a huge gain in bottom end hook up.

Research...?
Sorry Derek....I gotta let you in on a little clue. The 96 and 97 model Challengers both had VTS systems. I don't see why all the boats aren't equipped with them.
I own the 97, so I can speak from experience, as can Scooper, he owns the same boat as I do..........and we both have the VTS.
As for the original poster, I did'nt see the boat type, but if you have twin 110's, then you have the 1800 Challenger. So, it does not have the VTS. But, you can make the boat plane a lot faster according to how you have the weight distributed in the boat. :cheers:

Im guessing that the wearring and impeller "MAY" need to be replaced.

I have to change my answer.
I have since put in a Swirl impeller (and new wear ring while I was in there), and now it pops right out of the water, no matter where my trim is and with nearly 900 lbs of passengers.
