Gary,

You might be able to put more power into the coil using oil, but at
some point the spark will jump directly from the primary to the toroid.

Increasing coupling without improving the quenching will not give any
benefit most likely.  And it's hard to quench well at tight couplings, 
even my series quenching rotaries cannot do the job adequately.

How's the sync-gap project coming along?
