Well, if something "works" doesn't mean it's "right."  I would recommend doing 
some textbook reading, and the primary literature for the force field you've 
chosen.  It will save you a lot of time in the long run.  Remember that when 
publishing, you may have to defend any or all of your chosen parameters.  With 
the right background work, you won't have to improvise these choices and face 
unnecessary criticism :)
