You should be able to get a few feet out of that. My coil ran on 15000/30ma 
and put out 2 feet, and that was with several smaller streamers too. I was 
also using just a 3" by 14" secondary. If you get more than one streamer you 
should get a larger toroid. You say your secondary is 8.5", that might be too 
large but you should ask someone else. Two paralleled 15000v/60ma NST's would 
give double the power of one, and probably be enough for the secondary.
