Capacitor Size and BPS

["Tesla list" <tesla@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to get a better understanding of the
appropriate size capacitor for a Pole Pig driven coil.
 Obviously a larger capacitor will give a bigger bang,
but too big will charge too slowly and may not achieve
120 BPS.  As I understand it, 120 BPS is the magic
number, anything lower essentially means charging
cycles are missed and total power transfer is less?
Correct me here if I'm wrong...

So I'm seeking advice on capacitor size for a 5KVA 11"
Coil.  Any advice?

Thanks,

Curt.
