I would go with 400 watt bulb.

Make sure you have a big passive intake to keep the air flowing. Passive intakes are generally 4x the size of your active exhaust. so 20" diameter in your case.

I have a dr-60 secret jarden as well. I only run cfl's and i have small heat issues so with your hps rockin your gonna need more fans. I have 3x 240 cfm out/out/in and i am barely good with my temps. I recommend more fans.
i also recommend having ducting bringing the air in from outside and sending it out. If you can do this it will help with the temp and smell. often during lights on because of temp issues i would keep the door open, causing more smell. But i DO have the smell of herb around my room even sealed up now that im in flower.

I have a 4" odor sok with a fan pulling through it and out the top.

It is a never ending battle to improve your tent, but you have a good start there buddy.

Thank you mate, i'll keep that in mind. By the way, i think this grow tent is too high for autoflowers ?

no such thing as too high of a grow room.
