I suppose I could find how energy could be transferred into the MMC in a given amount of time and relate that to my BPS somehow... but if anyone has a formula that'd be nice...
This I believe is the formula to match a capacitor to a transformer. I think you need to provide more info before your question can be answered. Unless I misunderstood the question...

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking here either. If you know the impedance of your transformer, the short answer is approx. 1.4-1.5x the resonant capacitence calculation.

There is a formula on this page for determining the optimal C for a given NST power source. There is a second equation which optimizes the that value of C for a synchronous rotary spark gap running at some BPS. That equation is written for 50Hz I need one for 60Hz.

First of all what are the ratings of the nst? This could help determine correct c at 50Hz.
I think it should be as Hazmatt said whatever you figure using the nst's ratings with the equation for 50Hz from deepfriedneon times 1.4-1.5. If I'm not mistaken the formula from deepfriedneon is for resonance.

Sorry please allow me to make this more clear.
On THIS site:
There is an equation which optimizes your capacitance for a given NST configuration, line frequency and BPS (SRSG). This equation was made for a 50Hz line. I need to figure out what the coefficient (150 in the case of a 50Hz line) should be for a 60Hz line.
The equation comes from how long it takes to charge the MMC.
