"I won't be doing any tuning for signal strength, I will tune for a low vswr,"

swr on the feedline has nothing to do with whether or not the antenna is in a "tuned" condition. regardless of the match between the feedline and the load, an antenna is in a "tuned" condition when reactance is equal to 0 at any given frequency. the total absence of all reactance, both inductive and capacitive, (X=0) is the absolute indicator of the "tuned" condition known as resonance.
