Yes, it will be enough. Personally, if i could buy a new oil cooler i would go for a 10 row one, rather a 13row that i use.

Out of intersest may i ask why you say you would go for a 10 row cooler over your current 13 row cooler?

A 10 row cooler will be better than nothing. However on a tuned engine that gets driven hard or in anger a larger one will be best suited (especially a turbo converted engine). As with any oil cooler, its always best to use a thermostatic take off plate as it will allow the engine oil to reach its most efficient working temperature (from cold) in the quickest possible time.

This must surely depend on where you live (climate, summer temps), what state of tune your engine is in and how hard you drive your car?

I'd say 10 rows was small. But then I just bought a 16 row so I would!

Well let say that in Croatia, average temperature in summer days is about 35˘C nd in this moment I hv around 140 hp as my charger is not in best shape. but as I hv spare Jaba stage 4 charger with 65 mm tooth puley hope it will be little bit more than 140.

So you sugest to take 16 raws or ?

Average temp in UK is about 22 if we are lucky. I think more than 10. I ran a 13 row with a similar bhp to you and it couldn't cope on hot days with a strong run.
