Hello list,

I am in the middle of designing a mini coil, and want to check with you 
guys about something first. I was going to make this coil a contestant in 
the mini coil contest, but seeing as I wasn't able to find a 4/20 NST in 
the entire state, I am just going to try and get as much spark as possible 
out of the smallest package. I found a 6/60 NST and was wondering whether 
or not to take the shunts out for around 120ma. The question I was thinking 
about is whether or not a small secondary (2 inch) would be able to handle 
that much power? So do I be happy with 360VA or can I push it to 720VA? 
Thanks for your ideas.

-Chris
