I would think it best to keep the capacitance within +/- 10% of whatever
TeslaMap or JavaTC recommend for your power supply and gap type.
That should give you optimal use of your input power and make tuning easier.

I am now thinking to try Johns theories about the back ring arcing. *I am
also wondering if I should try to increase my mmc capacitance.""*
