I wanted this to be a quick beer, on tap in two weeks. since the gravity and IBU's are significantly higher should I give it more time in the primary?

It would probably help, but if you made a starter and had a great fermentation in nice low temps, you may not have made too much off flavors that need to be cleaned. If you hit FG easily and quickly, give it 5-7 days more in the primary and keg it if it tastes good. If it tastes good when it's carbed, drink it.

The hops turned out a little heavy but balanced nice with a lemon slice.
