I just want some feed back on this first time closest grow im doing. The space in 5.5x2.2x8.

Setup-
Flat white walls
HIGROW 1000W led (400 true watts)
4 inch carbon filter
3 gallon pots
FoxFarm Happy Frog Soil

Im attempting to LST five different auto strains, just to have a selection out of this first grow. I want to stay organic. Everything is already ordered and now im just waiting. I also have 3 180w CFL setups I could add if anyone thinks id need it? My goal is 2-3 oz per plant.

I don’t think you will get 2-3 oz per plant with that light in that space, but you can definitely grow something! Manage your expectations somewhat, that’s sort of a long space to light with one light fixture. Two lights at lower wattage may have been better. You will refine your system with every passing day. Consistency of care is key. As long as you stay dedicated to keeping the plants healthy, without loving them to death, you’ll do fine.

I've had many people tell me an led won't flower very well, and some said it would be fine but would just take longer.
Don't get discouraged, just do the best you can do with what you have, that's what I'm doing.
I started a cheap budget grow last month using
A "cheap" Mars Hydro 600w led, rated at 270 actual watts
32x32x62 tent
ProMix amended soil
18/6 light cycle with light hung at 24" above plants
I'm moving mine outside in a couple weeks, but this is what mine are doing 21 days after seed pop.
I have 12 plants in 1 gallon fabric pots in this little tent.

I've decided to get the most I can out of this grow, two plants will be going outside after the first few weeks. Leaving three under 400 true watts of led and 540w cfl. Can I expect to get anywhere close to where I want to be by doing this?

Don' expect too much, it could lead to disappointment. Focus on keeping your plants healthy. After you get that down your yield will improve
