It looks like my induction ratios are a bit mixed up.
What I`ll do is wind a new extra coil, still 4.25" by 23" but
with thinner wire to up the inductance, if I wind about 1200 turns
instead of the previous 800 then I should have an inductance ratio
of 1:2 (driver:extra)about 34mH.

Also re-read some old post, The comment about inductance came from
Richard Quick.

Next qustion.

With regards to the primary/driver how close should the two coils be.
I thought 2" or so.(This should give me room to add insulation around
the driver)
