TMAX 400 grainy negatives

from Makis Gaitanidis (makis_gaitanidis@hotmail.com)
Hi, I am using TMAX 400 (35mm) film with TMax developer, and getting noticeably grainy negatives. I am developing on kodak recomended temp and time (4.5min@75F) with agitation every 30 sec. (I do not push proccess) What is causing a grainy negative? How can I modify my processing routine to reduce grain whithout any trade-offs in contrast or anything else?

Assuming I can get a perfect 35mm negative, up to what size prints I can get without noticeable grain? (is 11x14 a big expectation from 35mm?)

Thanks for any answer/comment you may have. -Makis
