 I am interested in upgrading my low power 4" coil.  Primary is 11.5 turns
 of 1/4" copper tubing wound on 1/2" centers.  I was wondering if a 15KV
 30mA NST might be all I need for the size of this coil, or if it would be
 worth it to go for a 15KV 60mA NST instead.  Is it possible to
 "overpower" the coil?

Ron,

More power equals longer sparks.  The 15 kv 60 ma transformer will not 
overpower the coil.  I have a 3.0" diameter coil that uses the same 
transformer.
