Times for both 100 deg and 86 deg are given in the instructions. I process at 86 deg F (30 deg C) because: 1.) it is easier to to maintain that temperture 2.) it is cheaper to maintain that temperature 3.) it keeps your darkroom cooler 4.) 8 minutes in the developer will give completely consistent and even processing results. Kodak has always said "Development times shorter than 4 minutes may produce unsatisfactory uniformity" I chose the easier, cheaper, cooler, more uniform, process times.
