Woot! Beerthirty just turned gold! Congrats man.
If you boil past the 8 gallon mark, the IBU will... sort of go up. It will shift the later hops from aroma/flavor into bittering. So you'll get a lot of bittering compounds without the aroma compounds.
You could also boil for an extra hour BEFORE starting your hop schedule - this will give high OG but normal IBUs.
helps to clarify what I'm saying. But yes, if you boil your 15-minute hop addition for 60-minutes, you'll get more IBUs out of that hop addition, and less flavor.
