Default Oil cooler

Ok, I searched and could only find the all in one radiator/oil cooler. What other oil coolers are out there. It will mostly be a track car but I do want to drive it on the street some as well. So is there an oil cooler that will drop my 30 deg on the track but allow it to get hot enough for road use. Any ideas?
Thanks

Doug Rippie Motorsports has a stand alone engine oil cooler that works well and is easy enough to install. I think Lingenfelter has one also.

Any idea how many deg it will drop it on a track day and if it will still allow it to get hot enough for street use?
Thanks

My DRM system is on a track car and it does provide 30+ degrees of extra cooling, but the car is never street driven so I don't really know about that. But, I do warm the car up until the oil temp is about 160+ setting in the pits so I doubt street driving would be a problem.
