Hey I'm 14 too, and I also think its cool that there are a bunch of us out 
there. For some reason my small ignition coil powered TC doesn't have too 
much improvement with a ground or not. The sparks are just a bit more 
intense. It was a great intro to coiling but since then I've ran as much as 
15/60 before it died. The sparks were nearly 3' but I really needed a bigger 
topload. I'm currently planning a big MOT powered coil. I consider an NST 
just as lethal as an MOT, I go by the rule I made up, "If I touch the wrong 
thing I die." Talk to Henry Hallem about MOT's, he has a decent coil running 
off them. Look for OBIT's and NST's first, they are very easy to use.
