You can increase density with:

More agitation 
Stronger (less diluted) developer
Higher temperatures
Longer development

Or a combination of the above.

Rather than process a whole roll, tear off a few one-foot pieces and process 
them with time/temperature variations until you get what you want. Then process 
the entire roll.
