Hello, I have been Practicing vs a mech terran buddy of mine where he usually hits with Bio/Tank at about 9 minutes to deny/kill my third. Now i normally go Ling/Bling/Ultra/Infestor, but i wanted to try to change it up, so using the program Evolution Chamber. It came up with this build after i left it running for 1 mil games played and just looking at opinions on it.

Even though you hold the attack pretty well, given he wont just scan your roaches and kill ALOT, and it will be really hard to hold. You will have no eco what so ever. 29 drones is really not enough.

I don't think burrowed roach is the answer to this push. The push your describing could be killed with a surround of lings and a couple of banes. You sacrifice too much economy to get so many roaches and burrow that even if you smash his push, he just has to get out a few maurauders and a tank or two and then build a turret at the front of his base to take no damage from you.
