Substitute for Max 800?

[Ken Archer]

My normal film is Kodak Portra 160 or 400 NC.  On early mornings under 
cloudy conditions I use Kodak Max 800 because of the additional speed 
and increased contrast.  I don't particulary like the color and the 
added grain of the Max 800, however.  Has anyone used a film that gives 
the color and grain of Portra NC with additional speed and contrast?
