This is probably just my taste preference coming out but I like more late hop additions. I would do 1.5 oz Cascade at 60 min, 1.5 oz Cascade at 5 min and dry hop with your 1 oz of Willamett.

Looks tasty! One thing I would change is your bittering hop addition at 60 minutes. I would change that to a First Wort Hop addition as it adds more aroma and flavor which is fantastic in an IPA. Ditto on the previous post about some late hop additions; 1oz of something with 5 minutes left in the boil. Other than that, looks like it will be a great beer.

Thanx for the advise. I was shooting for a 60 min boil, but the pizza guy came in the middle of brewing. When I went back to the brew pot, the burner was out I just added the time I was away from the pot to the overall boil time. Let me see how it taste Then next time I'll try the extra hop addition if needed.
