But to quote Smokey Yunich; "I think 20,000 volts is actually enough--but what an ignition really needs is a long spark duration--and high amperage."
Enter Capacitor Discharge Ignition.And multi-spark.
I totally agree that an engine need long duration and reasonable spark current, but a CDI ignition has about 1/20th of the duration of an inductive ignition, that is why they need multi-strike.
