4X4 Tent, 400watt HID or T5 lights?

I already have a 1000watt flower room, now I am making a grow tent inside the same room.

My question is, the tent has one 7" out take fan on the top to push the hot air out, but I dont know if it would cool down the tent enough for a 400 watt HID. Anyways, my alternative was to get T5s, but you have to keep them so close to the plants plus I plan on growing 9 plants for 5 weeks.

So, would the 400watt HID be too hot for a 4X4 tent? The height on the tent is 6 feet.

Thx

or, you could even do a combo with some cfl. and reg flours for side lighting, ect. i just ordered a 400 watt hps from htg, not here yet, i have 9 girls under cfl and flours right now and when my hps gets here im gonna take some cuttings and a couple t 12s away from the set up, leave some cfl's, and make mother/clone station.

An air cooled hood will help a lot. I'm running a 400w HPS in a 36"x20" cab currently and my next flower is going to be a 600w HPS in a 48"x24" tent.
