ok so while I have been playing around so much and trying to increase spark length, I destroyed everything I finally reached 6" with no brake out point and a 9" arc to ground =) but I destroyed my fly back and my tank caps. I replaced the diodes in the fly back with 20 50N60 ultra fast rectifiers and built a nice 50A 13000V rectifier but it gets really hot while operating the blown caps but it stays cool while drawing 4" arcs from the fly back. I am going to buy 10 of these fly backs because there performance was great for only $4.
