D-76 is the same as ID-11, times for which are listed on Ilford's website under the film or the developer. These are "starting" points and may need adjustment for your specific processing technique, especially if using a condenser enlarger (typically about 15% less time).

FP4+ is good stuff, but you won't know how good until you back off the EI. Shoot at something between 50 and 80, depending on your equipment and metering techniques, then adjust the development so it prints well on #3 paper. Don't overagitate. You really have to establish the time yourself, but it's worth it.

I know you're asking about FP4 & D76 but I just wanted to chime in... For b&w, I shoot exclusively FP4 (& Pan F) and have been developing it Rodinal, 1:25, 68ºF, 9min (timed so I've completely drained out and am pouring in stop at :09:01). I fell in love with it in school. D76 is a great developer but we all have different sensibilities and it was lacking "something" for me. I'm still satisfied with the combination of FP4/Rodinal. What aesthetically pleases me may not please you but, if you've never tried Rodinal I'd suggest you buy a small bottle and try it for a few rolls. If you have and prefer D76, then never mind. :)
