Yea I have 2X exhaust 1 at bottom 1 at top and an intake on the bottom

stays nice and cold in there now... I also put up one of the emergency blankets so hopefully the plants recover

4 of the plants curled up and yellow pretty bad earlier on today because I hung a fan just behind the lights for a draft because I thought it would cool them off... but when I got back 2 hours later I seen what it did to the plants... so as soon as I noticed I went and bought the emergency blanket and installed the fan into the back of the cabinet blowing out.

Do you guys think I should put them about 6" from the lights for a couple days just for less stress?

You should put the lights as close as possible without burning
If you need to keep the CFL's 6 inches away to keep from burning the plants you need to upgrade ventilation

No Im not worried about burning. with the new fan I installed it stays like 75 degrees in there with only the 4 6500k bulbs that im running right now.. I was just worried maybe it would be too intense for them to recover

You are using CFL's lol they are not going to be intense enough to bother the plants, keep them as close as possible
Order some new seeds anyway, it is always nice to have different genetics
