Is this a good circuit for a tesla coil. Any suggestions



this is a circuit from a book called George McComb's Gadgeteer's Goldmine. 
It uses a 555 IC and ignition coil to drive a traditional tesla coil if you
will.  Any Improvements.  Anybody tried this circuit.  It was adapted from
Walt Noon's 40000 volt induction coil plans.  The parts marked on the
schematic and the ones on the part list are different does andbody know
which ones are better.  See attachments.  Thanks.
