1/125s @ f11 and a #25 red filter seems okay, assuming a bright sunny 
day (my bracketing range for #87C (2 stops darker), is 1/60s @ 
f5.6-11).
Pyro doesn't sound familiar though....I know that it exists, but I
doubt many use it for HIE....so either be sure to have the correct
developing data for HIE, or switch to a more bread-and-butter
developer. Mine are souped in XTOL at a pro-lab.
