Default Modine or oil cooler ?

Right my car is being slowly put together with 500 bhp in mind
Fully forged usual stuff

I will use the car very rarely and if I do it will either be a track or spirited driving

Do I do away with the Modilne and install a full blown oil cooler and if so anyone have any recommendations on kits

Thanks Dave

I have a 19 row mocal with a thermostatic plate.
I installed it behind the fog cover on my blob sti.
Oil sits around 85 degrees unless in traffic

proper oil cooler set up, why go cheap on one of the most important things with a high power engine. Oil temps will kill it very rapidly.
