Cascade/Amarillo are always nice as a dry hop in nearly any situation. I think they would work well here since you'll already have some of the cascade aroma in the late addition.

Would you suggest an ounce or???

With a name like "Hopplosion" you should just go at least 3 ounces of dry hops or more.

Does dry hopping impact the IBU's? If so, anyone know what that would do with my current IBU's?

+1 on the cascades idea, makes a nice DH, and it won't make any change in the IBU's. At this point, you're not boiling the hops, so the only thing you're going to get is their aroma.

also, what's the story on the 'Heebs' part? I ask because people call me that all the time.

Well by the looks of your screen name I assume you may be a Hebert?

My last name is the same, thus the "Heeb" reference. Been a nickname of mine since birth, or pretty damn close.

So would you recommend three ounces of Cascade also?
