Critique my IIPA!

Started off with a sculpin clone, couldn't afford $5/oz for amarillo and it got out of control and turned into a double ipa. I'm brewing tomorrow-starter is going so no turning back.

I went for a huge and complex hop bomb. Let me know if any of these ingredients shouldn't be used.

The volumes are off. It will be a 4 gal boil with a top off to 5. Also I'm only steeping these grains for 30min. Not mashing.
