The two spare tons turn the ac5s into uac5s which will be in the left and right torsos on the Bushwacker hero to allow for an XL 255
Without knowing the mech, I can't say how wise the XL may or may not be. But, being a medium mech you'll probably be able to get away with that without any real issues.
As for attack power, I'm not sure if that build will have enough punch, but I wont knock it either because I've got some builds similar to it. It looks like it will be a hit and fade mech, not one to want to stay out too long in an engagement. Considering how cool those UAC5s will handle, have you contemplated replacing it with an ERPPC? Long range, no minimum range, faster bolt travel speeds, etc. Yes, it's hotter, but a single ERPPC shouldn't be too hot for your proposed build.
I wish you luck with your Bushwacker. It's a mech I would have loved to have preordered myself.
