Hi Mike,
It all depends on what your goal is. If, like most builders, your aim
is big sparks and a light show, then the extra 900 or so windings will not
help much. Remember, to have oscillation at all, you must have R <
2*SQRT(L/C) and the current flow decays as exp(-Rt/2L).i.e. Less cycles to
build streamers.
On the other hand, if you are the one in 10,000 people that might
want to USE the HV output of you TC for powering something else, then that
is a different and mostly unexplored story.
Hope this helps,
Matt D.
