Steve,

In your original posting you said 6", did you mean 6 feet sparks maybe? 
6 inches is
much too little for a pole pig.  If I had known you plan to use a pig, I 
would have given a very different answer.  By the way, you may get
a lot more than 100 pulses per second depending on how your gap is
adjusted and quenched.  Also a 3" dia topload is kind of small for a 
pole pig powered TC.  How many kva is the pole pig?  Have you built
other coils?
