[Spits] Oil Cooler Size

Hi everyone.

I asked a question about oil cooler adapters a couple of weeks ago and 
got some good answers.  But I have another question.

I am thinking of putting an oil cooler on my Spitfire because the oil 
pressure starts out at 60 and especially in warm weather seems to drop 
quite a bit. I am running 20w-50 oil.
I do some spirited driving but no racing.  Would a 10 or 13 row cooler 
help this?  Any suggestions of which would be best? 

Ted S recommended a remote filter instead of the sandwich style 
takeoff.  Has anyone done this?  If so where did you mount the remote 
filter?

Thanks for you help.
