Doh! i just got my sim working properly with the fast Ipri shutdown.
Turns out i was pulling the wrong gates low!  Oops!

Simulation is looking much closer now to real life :-).  Im getting
only 6.75J bang energy but 4.5J streamer energy (9pF with 220K
series), seems a little low for bang energy, but it does peak to 10J
right at the cut off, but then 3.25J are returned to the filter caps
apparently =\.
