Try a vac gap similar to mine at 
http://www.geocities-dot-com/yurtle_t/tesla/gap.htm
I've used it with pig power and it works great. It
makes a HUGE difference over my other static gaps at
higher powers. At lower powers, it didn't make as much
difference. I actually had better luck at 15/60 using
my srsg's.

Good luck
