I have yet to read what your exhaust fan sizes are.

Run a big one for the lights and something smaller for the carbon. They make some large vortex fans and you can get a reducer to fit your light exhaust size. Maybe even oversize your carbon.

As always of heat is an issue, duct to the outside of the building. That or move somewhere like Alaska if you really think you require 70 watts per foot.

I have an 8" fan and filter, and a 6" combo as well. I went went ahead and connected the filter inside the tent aND put the 6" inline fan pushing ac into the tent. I let it run at 2k for 2 hours, ac set at 69 and tent ran at 73. So does look like I may have that option
 
Duct your light on a closed run of ducting up and out with the 8" fan.

Exhaust up and out again with the 6" fan and carbon filter pulling air from a separate duct up high in the tent.

Run your light at night and only blast them with 2k during week 3-6 of flower.
 
More air conditioning. Minimum 4,000 btu per 1000 watt for hot states/summer growing.
Also do not use a intake fan. Your exhaust will pull fresh air into your tent as long as there is a duct open. Preferably at the bottom of the tent.
Keeping your light's ducting as straight as possible will also help vent your lights. Where are you venting your lights too?
Are you using any fans in your tent? Air circulation can lower your temps 2-5 degrees. It will also give you a more consistent temp with limited to no hot spots.
