I think that i can usually pull about 40kv on a normal can type IC.  I epoxy 
a longer insulation tower onto the coil, or else it arcs down the side of 
the original insulator.  With my PVC pipe and epoxy fill insulator, i can 
pull at least 1.5" or more.  How much were these 65kv models??  my coil was 
$10US new, and the epoxy was another few bucks(i had it laying around 
though), and i wouldnt even count in the 1" PVC pipe.  I really wonder if it 
would be worth the extra cost that they would want for such a coil.
