Thank you for your reply. I have a 0.01uF cap ordered, and should be delivered this week.

Subject: [TCML] poor preformance

I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas how I can go about looking
 for performance issues.

Currently, I get a very weak and faint spark off my top load of less than 1/4", but I can draw 4" sparks of the middle of the middle of the
 secondary.

 The coil specs are as follows:
 7Kv5 NST @ 30ma
 630pF main cap
 Static spark gap
 7 turns of 12ga primary coil

 2' 3"od secondary with 18ga wire
 8" sphere top load
