I did not come up with this recipe but combined two I came across online and I'll be brewing this tomorrow........opinions, changes?

Grain:
7 lb. American 2-row
1 lb. American Munich
8 oz. American crystal 120L
4 oz. Belgian CaraMunich
2 oz. Belgian Special B
1.5 lb. Flaked rye
1 lb. Rye malt

Hops:
1 oz perle 6.5 AA for 60 minutes
1 oz amarillo at 30 (7.2 AA's for all amarillo)
1 oz amarillo at 20
1 oz amarillo at 10
2 oz amarillo dry hop

One concern is the low IBU this recipe is yielding, I was looking for Rye IPA but the low AA's are not helping. I'm not brewing this until later in the day tomorrow so I have time to change things....I'm not good at coming up with recipes. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Looks good to me. I like rye beers; time to make one again. What strain are you going to ferment it with? Something like wyeast 1056 would be a good, clean, choice.
 
I would simplify the grainbill to just 2-row, rye malt, and C120. Works for AHS Pale Rye, and I liked that beer enough to brew it five times.
