Hi Jeremiah,

The first thing I would do is increase your capacitance to 
2.8*Cres.  I use 55 nf for my 15KV/120ma source and fire at 
24KV.  With your smaller cap, you will be able to get higher voltages 
and this may be why you can't keep the safeties from firing.  Also, 
if you advance your timing some (earlier in time), you can bring this 
voltage down to where your safeties don't fire. Safeties firing with 
SRSG are bad as it screws up the timing.  You might also mention what 
the current safety spacing is as max spacing may not be enough.
