I highly doubt current ignition systems are "optimal". First off, the high resistance wiring would waste power. Just replacing that wiring with low resistance wiring would reduce those losses, although I'm not sure if it would overload the transformer or other circuits. The ricers have no problem when they do it for horsepower, however.

Have you tried to see what happens if the gap is widened and the voltage increased?
