Oh wait no I was wrong... I multiply the secondary transformers voltage by its current right?1800 seems a bit high. How did you come to that number?
500W is probably good for a coil with a 4x25 secondary.

That is correct, power = volts * amps, or P = I * V.Oh wait no I was wrong... I multiply the secondary transformers voltage by its current right?
Think stinks, I think I can separate them 1/2 inch max hope that’s enough. Also what metal would you recommend besides tungsten for the electrodes?That'll require some trial and error. Once you get your transformer you'll want to adjust it as wide as possible while allowing it to still fire regularly.
As a side note, you seem to be using brass fittings. Be aware that the firing of the spark gap will melt and eat away these electrodes very quickly. You will probably need to replace them frequently.
Ok, I was just experimenting, just gonna be one transformer. I plugged the information in for 9k at 60mA and got 0.0176 uf so Ive been experimenting with the MMC page to see how many I need.Putting identical transformers in parallel with the same phase doubles the current sourcing capability.
On the deepfriedneon page, the frequency, voltage, and current of the transformer is fixed, and should not be changed. It should be set to match the transformer(s) you have. The calculator will then give you the optimal capacitance value. You then use that capacitance to determine the required primary coil inductance in order to match the resonant frequency of your secondary circuit using the formula, f=1/(2*pi*sqrt(L*C)).
