14 amps, well now that ought to do it. :{)

Can someone explain to me why a MOSFET would be better here than a

He wasn't suggesting using a MOSFET per se, but a MOSFET *driver*.

These are designed for supplying (and sinking) short pulses of high
current, in order to charge (and discharge) the gate capacitance quickly.
