Tom,

I haven't analyzed that completely, but 150 bps may be tricky.
You'd be attempting to fire twice on one of the half cycles, and
once on the next half cycle (I guess?).  It may cause bad resonances.
I don't really know.  You may be able to run at 100bps or 200bps
with the cap you have.  Usually there's a range of cap values that
will work.  It tends not to be super-critical.  If it's an NST system,
sometimes a too small cap can cause the system to run in
a voltage reversal mode which has a very bad power factor
however.
