Here it is:

Estimated OG: 1.070 SG
Estimated Color: 28.0 SRM
Estimated IBU: 59.9 IBU
Brewhouse Efficiency: 72.00 %
Boil Time: 60 Minutes

Ingredients:
------------
Amount Item Type % or IBU
12.75 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 85.00 %
1.50 lb Special B Malt (180.0 SRM) Grain 10.00 %
0.50 lb Special Roast (50.0 SRM) Grain 3.33 %
0.25 lb Roasted Barley (300.0 SRM) Grain 1.67 %
0.75 oz Chinook [11.90 %] (60 min) Hops 25.5 IBU
0.75 oz Chinook [11.90 %] (30 min) Hops 19.6 IBU
0.75 oz Chinook [11.90 %] (15 min) Hops 12.6 IBU
1.50 oz Chinook [11.90 %] (1 min) Hops 2.2 IBU
1 Pkgs American Ale II (Wyeast Labs #1272) Yeast-Ale


The question is do you think the special roast and roasted barley would get lost under all those IBU? Any input is appreciated.
 
with a 14 lb grain bill in general I don't think the hops will overpower too much... if you're concerned I would thrown in just a little extra roasted barley. They don't have to go in denominations of 1/4 lbs!
