RE: coil design help

My system is identical to yours. My tank cap is .026 uf. The coil is an 
excellent performer. I get 96" arcs at 6 kW no problems. I believe 120" is 
a realistic max length. I would just use the .024uF cap. I think you will 
be pleasently suprised.

The only reason I'm limited to 96" arcs, it's the closest target in the 
basement.

GOOD LUCK. You will see a big difference in the 6.5" over the 4".
