If this is a ~5 gallon batch this is like a ~9% ABV 130IBU beer. Will it be an IPA?, uh yeah, IIPA for sure.

Judging by the way the question is written, I'll assume this will be your first big arse IPA. 2 cents, make a starter for that yeast and brew away!

Thanks first real recipe that I put together on my own . How do I do a starter?

The specs put it in DIPA range but you have no flavor or aroma hops, so it will be very bitter but not a lot of hop character like an IPA should have. I would do a bittering addition with just the warrior at 60, maybe bump it up to an oz, then do at least 6 oz of cascade plus zythos at 15 min to 0 and dry hop with another 3-4 oz.

Here an article to read on yeast starters.
Edit: and another page on starters.
