 To tune with a larger Cpri just use less Lpri or a larger Csec - what
 Reinhard said about toroid sizing is very true - use the largest toroid you
 can for the best output.

I have a 6" secondary, using a .05 ufd primary cap, running up to about 7kva. 
 I know this is pushing this secondary and am sure I would get better 
performance with an 8" or 10" secondary.  Might just rebuild it someday.
