No, I said a 100 watt resistor would be several times over-capacity. The ability for a resistor to dissipate heat determines its reliability, which is why ignition resistors are way over-engineered. Those huge ceramic heat sinks draw the heat away from the nichrome resistance wire.

OOPS! just found the typo and corrected it! Thanks!
