Terry, all,

My old ~reso-cap system produced 30kV on the cap at 
the gap firing point using a 12kV, 30ma NST, and I didn't have any
problems with the NST.  But my cap was rated at 90kVAC.  I found
the same efficiency using either the reso cap or the LTR with the 
NST if I remember my notes correctly.
