Ok,

So is a rating of 60KVAR good or bad for what i want to use these caps for?? 
  Or are these caps not made to do what i want them to do.  Some one wrote 
more about KVAR, but i lost the email.  They mentioned that PFC caps are 
rated this way.  Im guessing that a PFC cap wouldnt be what i want.  Could 
someone just give an educated guess as to whether or not these caps would 
work ok for the tuning cap(cap across primary coil) in an 811A driven VTTC.  
The link is in the original message below this.  Thanks you guys.

Steve Ward.
