Tim,

WAIT!

This "dimple" idea is to increase the copper surface area, cheaply, not to
restrict flow.  There is no truth to the slower flow increasing cooling.  You 
are
buying a sales gimmick, at best.

Get a high quality, 4 row, 14 fin per inch high performance radiator core.  
Modine
"Special Orders Department" supplies them, and they are no thicker than the
original Tiger 3 row, but work MUCH better.  Fits original end tanks and shroud.
Too many people on this list to count will give you the same answer.

Have you looked at getting an old Tiger radiator?  Even if you don't, and wan' 
to
use your Alpine tanks, the same answer applies.  More tubes, extremely good
tube/fin brazing, very high fin count (14/inch minimum) and as many as 4 rows.

Don't waste your money on hogwash.
