Hi David, I wrote:
Hi David, Also, you didn't mention what you were using for your top load. The size and shape of your top load can have a signifi-cant affect on overall performance. With the available power that you have, I would go for a very large to toroid to maxi-mize this effect. Check out my big coil at: http://dawntreader.net/hvgroup/david/gm.html
Please disregard as I obviously didn't read your original post closely enough, as you did state:
Toroid: 8" x 24" Fres: ~100kHz
But in retrospect, I would try retuning it with a larger toroid, maybe something along the lines of 10 x 36 or 10 x 40. That would likely give you a notable increase in both spark length and thickness, since you would have hte available power.
