[TCML] Tesla Coil parameters list like Tesla Map software (i.e. spark length, secondary height, # of NSTs)?

Has anyone put together any sort of a listing of others Tesla Coils built
with parameters listed such as:

(for example): I have 2 NSTs (15kv, 60ma) each, 6" diameter, 31" high
secondary, torroid is ....

I am getting 3-4' sparks and wondering if I should be getting longer
sparks. Is this normal? or should I add another NST or bigger Toroid
(working on an 8" diameter ducting bigger one). How do I know since the
Tesla Map software says I should get "ideally" 72.6 inch sparks and I'm
getting about 1/2 to 2/3 of that. Just wondering if it's not tuned properly
(but I think it is) - or making a larger toroid is worth the effort if I'll
gain a foot or more sparks.

How does one know they are getting close to the best they can get in spark
length?

I have attached my Tesla Map file of current settings.

Thanks,

Tim
