I am an engineer and I think it could be made to work for the Z. It really is all about surface area, that is what fins give you. I'm thinking a flat type of tubing that would offer a low profile while still exposing maximum surface area. Yes, a pump upgrade would likely be needed.

I need to do some calculations and see what radiating area the Stillen heat exchanger has and what it would take to at least double that (I think it could be tripled).

For now it is what we call a napkin design. Something us engineers do during lunch time, doodle an idea on a paper napkin and then start to work out the details.
