Sorry Dave, I was looking at the 115 when I gave you those numbers. You are right with RPM ranges. It is 4500 to 5500. What seems odd to me is that you complain of holeshot and cavitation. With the RPMs you are pulling you should go up in prop to reduce the top end, but that would make your holeshot worse.
I bet your motor wasnt all the way down. Mine doesnt have a trim guage either, just keep trimming and the sound changes to a squeel when its all the way down. Then hammer on it out of hole, watch those RPMs all the way to top end. It should never hit the numbers you are talking about.

Here is a link to the suzuki specs for that motor (scroll down to 90, I looked at 115 first time).
