I have been scouring the internets for a solid 80 acre extract clone, and have combined elements of different recipes to come up with the below recipe, which I would love someone who is a more advanced brewer take a look at and let me know what you think...
60 min boil
3.3 lbs Pilsner Liquid Extract
1 lbs Extra Light Extract
3 lbs Wheat Dry Extract
0.25 oz Bravo for 60 min
0.25 oz Zeus for 60 min
0.5 oz Summit for 5 min
0.5 oz Summit at flameout
1 Tb Irish Moss for 15 min
Yeast: 1 package Safale American
0.5 oz Cascade dry hop for 7 days
0.5 oz Nelson Sauvin dry hop for 7 days
0.5 oz Summit for dry hop 7 days
According to BeerSmith this will give:
I've loved 80 Acre since it came out, and while I know that this predicted IBU is a bit higher (Boulevard lists it at 21) I think it might work out good for a nice take on a beer I already love.
Please give me your thoughts, as I have almost no idea what I'm doing and want to make sure this won't be a waste ...

Personally I wouldn't bother using more than 1 hop for the 60m bittering. Just use enough of any bittering hop to get you the 20ish IBUs from that addition. You won't get any distinct aromatic/flavor qualities from a hop that's boiled for 60m.
Also I'd increase your flameout hop addition by a lot
Remember most (if not all) wheat extract is not 100% wheat. Look up the percentage of the one you're using or ask the store you're buying it from, but they range from maybe 70%wheat/30% barley to 50/50.
