You'll need about 4 times the power input to get double the spark
length. It roughly follows the square law.

I've gotten better results with sync RSG's, than with any other type
of gaps in my coils. But if the sync RSG lowers your break-rate from
what is is now, then it won't help. To get the best advantage from a
120 bps RSG, you'll probably need a larger cap. My guess is that
a sync RSG with a higher break-rate might not help much.
