Default Single Row VS. Dual Row Radiator

My 93 VTEC lude has a dual row radiator in it equipped from the factory. I was wanting to just get an OEM replacement for it considering it's lightly modded and I don't ever plan on going turbo on the car. However, all the OEM replacement models I am finding (besides one directly from honda, which is $400) are single row radiators. The only ones I have found that are dual row are the koyo and the replacement OEM Honda one, and both are almost the same price.

So, will the OEM 1 row replacement be sufficient to keep the lude cool or do I need to go ahead and dish out the bucks to get the 2 row?

What's really messed up is the parts stores/sites are telling me that they don't show the lude coming with a 2 row radiator.

Thanks in advance

Thats because you are incorrect sir. All preludes come with a single row as OEM. So single is fine for cooling.

I got an aluminum with plastic tanks, 2 row OEM fit radiator from autozone for ~$100.
