SRSG with only 1.3x LTR cap

Hello everyone.

I used to be on here quite a bit back in the day, but got too busy at 
college to keep up.  I just finished my first year of a 
Electrical/Computer Engineering double-major program at U. Dayton in 
Ohio, and I'm back home and ready to play with my 6" coil again. Last 
summer, my dad and I finished up a pretty decent SRSG.

Currently my coil is running a 12/60 NST,  12-segment Cu Pipe static 
gap, and .017uF cap, which is about 1.3x LTR (assuming resonant is 
.013uF).  I would like to throw that SRSG on there and see how it 
works, but I'm not sure if my cap is big enough.... I thought it had 
been previously recommended to me to double my cap to .034uf which is 
about 2.6x LTR.

What do you guys think?  Is it safe for me to try the SRSG with this 
cap or should I wait until I add more capacitance?

Thanks - its good to be back for a little while...
