5 minutes: 2oz Warrior
Dryhop: 2oz Magnum
According to BeerSmith, this reduces IBUs to 91, which is spot-on for an Imperial IPA
That being established, how do the rest of the ingredients look?

Better. The timing is way better with a heavier influence at the tail end of the boil. However, magnum is a terrific bittering hop which isn't great at the end of the boil so I would use that at 60. Cascade on the other hand is terrific at the end of the boil so I would use it there. If you want to bitter with cascade I would still use it at the end and just dump the magnum then.
Maybe
