pt-coil caps/too many?

On my new coil, my secondary will be a 10" sonotube, wrapped 1440 times 
with 20 gauge wire (50 inches of turns). The spark gap is a 3450 RPM. 6" 
disc with 8 flying electrodes. MY toroid is a 9X30 spun toroid and my 
primary will be 12" inner diameter, with 18 turns. The cap bank will be 5 
strings of 16 geek group caps, for a total of .0458UF. Is this too much 
capacitance? If not, what would be considered too much, with the coil I am 
building?

Thanks
