I would use 1 pound of that caramel MAX.

I would move the late hop additions back 10 minutes each. 20, 10 and Knock Out.
 
IPA's should be bitter and have strong Hop aroma and flavor. The longer you boil them, the more flavor aroma you drive off. Adding them the last 5 minutes and after you turn the flame off captures those fragile oils that give off that aroma you are looking for in an IPA.
