Ok Ron- this is a bad idea- this film doesn't push well, and that's two and a thrid stops from it's normal, if you ask me. But jsut to satisfy my curiosity, I tried it. See what you think:

Rodinol 1:25 @ 70 degrees, for 15 minutes in two parts. Mix up twice as much developer as you need, and run for eight minutes, then dump and use fresh dev for remaining seven. Start with a two minute pre-wash at 70 degrees, and agitiate very gently, for first 40-45 seconds, then 5-8 seconds every minute. Stop, fix and wash normally, remembering that TMax film needs at least five minutes to fix properly.
