Alternatively, try either DDX or T-Max developer as either will give an inherent boost to the initial ISO. Of course, I would recommend Xtol at 1:1 as it give a boost to speed while minimising grain. Xtol has the usual water quality concerns and the only 5litre mixes so we are back at DDX or T-Max which can be found in smaller mixes. If you can, shoot a roll or Tri-X at 1600 in similar lighting to fine tune the time/temp before the good stuff gets souped.
