Final Gravity seems high to me. What are you planning for mash and sparge time/temps?

If you mash hot you could get a higher final gravity, but you'll get a more tinny flavor like a red. I've only done a few all grains, but I did a red and it came with a lower FG than that.

Otherwise it's a real nice simple recipe.
Should make good beer. Nice and hoppy, but not over the top.
 
I would mash @ 149 for a big IPA /need to dry hop/ I would do 3 oz chinook 60 min and 3 oz cascade for 2 min and dry with at least with 1 oz cascade and 1 oz chinook(i like to dry hop so i would use 4 oz total) I'm a hop head
