I don´t see anything wrong how you set the pi components.
All values are the same with my calculations.
1000pf for C2 plus 1500pf total added should load nicely with 5µH on 80m at
a Q of 12.
What kind of safety choke are you using and did you try 20m where you don´t
need additional fixed C?

Comet CV05c - 650n/5
Hooked up to a GME LC200 inductance meter
Watching the capacitance as I turn, not that it matters..
The issue is why does the amp need LOTS AND LOTS of capacitance :)

That's backwards to mine. Does the screw have right or left hand
threads. If CCW would be backing the screw out it's pushing the plates
closer together. The screw should be held in place so it can only turn
which pushes or pulls the plates in the opposite direction you'd think
the screw would be moving.
