I want to develop some Trix 320 shot at 160asa in a tank using PyroCat-HD. The only times I can find on line are for jobo processing. Any guidance would be appreciated. Preferred dilution is 1:1:100
 
Can't help directly but does Kodak not give any guidelines for the difference between inversion and constant rotation in its Tri-X literature?

If no-one has any good guidance you could try John Tinsley's approach in his book "Rotary Processing" He claims that by pre-soakiing for 5 mins he was able to stick to the inversion times for a range of Ilford films but admittedly he was using Ilford developers.

I'd have thought that a similar reasoning might apply to Tri-X

Massive Dev. Chart says Pyrocat at 9.5min @ 70 F for 320 sheet film rated at 160asa...might be a good starting point for a baseline test.
 
If these are pictures you care about you might want to sacrifice sheets to tests before souping the real shots...
 
Kodak recommends reducing development times by 15% for rotary processing.
