Gerry:
Hypering is somewhat of a "Black Art".
As Jim indicated, there are generalities, but no absolutes when comparing 
hypering specifics. My set-up differs from yours and I haven't hypered Supra 
400 at all.
The best advice I can give is ask lots of questions (which you're doing), 
perform lots of tests and keep records of every aspect of the tests.  By this 
I mean how much film is being hypered, the emulsion number of the film, the 
purge cycles, the times, the temps, the psi's, everything. Get some sort of 
notebook and begin numbering your hypering runs from #1 on up, recording the 
above info the same way each run. Leave space on the page to record your 
results; ie. How was the film developed, push processed?, how much, the fog 
density, how did images look?, any problems or screw-ups?? 
Only by testing, trial & error and going over your data and results will you 
be able to determine what's right for your set-up.

Good Luck,
Kent Kirkley
