[TCML] How reliable will this coil setup be?

[James Hutton <b-u-r-t-o-n-boy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey, so someone is buying my tesla coil off of me for a show he does. My tesla coil is very prone to failure at the moment because I bought the 940c series from cornell dublier.So I have ordered 12 x 942c20p15k (1 row of 10 in series and 2 extras).Hopefully this will make my coil run flawlessly and for long run times.
I might get rid of the strike rail above the primary. The streamers never seem to hit it, but it gets so hot that it melts its way through my supports.It's more of a hazard then an aid. But for now I'm going to leave it in case I get rail strikes with the new caps.
Here is a video of the build: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c6LghhD43sIt is crap, but cut me slack. its my first ever build :P
The only real problem right now is the caps.When I get the new caps, It should run fine.
I was just hoping if someone could confirm a few things for me though.I just need this coil to be reliable... since it is going to be used in a world class show! (I dont know why they chose me... This is my first ever tesla build!)So could someone confirm that this setup will be reliable and work almost flawlessly? 
Theoretically, how long of a runtime could I push out of it before something failed.... and what do you think would be the first thing to fail?Will these caps pop at all? I am so used to those damn caps popping every 30 seconds of coil run, it seems almost too good to be true to me that the caps wont fail.I heard somewhere they have an average lifespan of 75hours!
If anyone has any quick tips on how to make this more reliable, let me know!thanks 		 	   		  _______________________________________________
