XP2 Super is a C-41 process film. You can run it in a B&W developer, but the results will vary significantly from those it is designed to deliver.

XP2 Super is listed for a number of B&W developers on the Massive Dev Chart. I don't see a listing for PQ Universal, though. What you can do is note the times for some other developers (I'm certain they have HC-110, fairly sure they list Xtol or D-76) and find another tabular grain film that has times for one or those and PQ Universal. Then, if the other film wants 7 minutes in Xtol stock and 4:30 in PQ Universal, but XP2 uses 5 minutes in Xtol stock (this is a hypothetical -- use the actual figures) you'd give 5/7 of the 4:30 figure (your actual time will almost certainly be longer than this).
