About 90 seconds should do it. ;) On a serious note, if speed is what you want then I would use D-76 1:1 at about 80F. You should get a pretty fair negative and times should be in the three-four minute range. What I use is Xtol 1:3. Most films go between 13 and 18 minutes which is nothing compared to trying to reshoot something. You will have to see 16X20's using Neopan 1600 at 1600 in Xtol. Really tight grain and wonderful gradation.
