R. Scott,

I would think that the 8400 volts/inch would vary greatly also, for the 
output spark, depending on break-rate.  It would be nice to include
a factor for this in the program, if it isn't already.  I haven't done any
work with the the humidity, but with the sync gaps I use, humidity
doesn't seem to have a noticeable effect on spark output, or if it does,
I didn't notice it.
