according to tesla map 5 the design program i got from the internet your
max spark length is around 37 inches.... and thats according to your
power input.. which from what u told us from your step up transformer
size is about 460 watts (p=v*a)
but as like you i am in high school, despite that i still am getting up
to 40 inch streamers
