Actually, I already get racing sparks when I take off the breakout
point. Does that mean the coupling is too close already?

Tom,

If you get a good streamer output without the breakout point, but
also get racing sparks, then yes, I'd say the coupling is either
too close, or the coil is not tuned correctly.  If you get no
streamers without the breakout point, such operation does
tend to stress the coil some.  I'm not sure if that would
cause racing sparks by itself.
