Funny the most equivelent UK coiler to me would have to be Henry Hallem as 
I'm also only 14. From what I hear he uses more power and gets shorter sparks 
than I do. My coil used to run either a 12/60 or 15/60 and both died, but not 
before I achieved spark lengths of 32"-34". Perhaps his coil is the exception 
to your rule that UK coilers do better engineering? Well this whole post was 
pretty much just to boast the streamer length I acheived.
