you need at least twice the amount of hops... IIPAs are known for their dry hops - I would make the DH at least 4oz...

IIPA's have nothing to do with their dry hops. Imperial simply means a higher alcohol content. I have dry hopped with 1 oz on several other IIPA's and the aroma is still outstanding
