As of 1 week ago I would agree, but I know someone who has claimed to
build a very small coil that is getting really good spark lengths (the
JF formula is working for him). I'm awaiting his data. It should be
pretty interesting to compare his coil to the typical small coil. Maybe
were missing something with small coils that will show up. I certainly
am troubled about small coils performance and am hoping something
obvious shows.
Take care,
Bart
