Tesla coil dual MOT 3 question

How do I replicate 120 at 60hz to get the actual voltage on my MOTs'. I have this setup in real life but get no where near the voltage I think I should. I know I pump in 120v at about 18A. Output is 2kv phased. Potential is 4kv. With the diode and caps should it not double to around 8kv potential? I

If its just capacitance then i can fix that. I have become very good at building caps.

AC source should be 169V amplitude at 60Hz. measure your transformer winding inductance and resistance both sides to get a better idea of what to put into simulation. flip the transformers so that the AC source goes through the secondaries in EC

I found out that i wasnt supposed to ballast those mots. This setup works just fine.
