would def cool the hoods (cant go wrong there),
I would suggest around 465-500 cfm vortex ,and vent outside the tent.

I am using a 4inch 175CFM Vortex to cool my 2 600W in ELD hoods and the it keeps them fairly cool. Top of the second hood is a bit hot but you can hold your hand a inch under the glass and its not hot. Intake air about 6 deg cooler than inside the room. But could be the hood design i dunno :P
