Have a look at the brewday data above.Your recipe at first glance looks good except the IBU's are way too high,try to aim for 60-65ibu max,you can always go lower if you want. ;D

On another note i was unable to crash chill this and i haven't done secondary in over three years,however given what i saw when bottling i would say at the very least a few days secondary might be necessary given the dry hop amount and also S04 doesn't drop out the cleanest quickly. ;D

FG does sound far too low though. That's saison or sour FG territory.

1.008 is the sweet spot for hoppy beers I've found.
