Chris,
Not sure what you mean by force driving the unit. Generally
good spark output will be obtained only if the system is well-tuned.
Generally one builds the coil, then moves the tap point along
the primary until the best spark output is obtained. TC programs
such as JavaTC will help to insure that you have enough primary
turns to be able to properly tune the coil, etc.
Cheers,
John
