The Speed of Air guys do carry on about how the dimples' size, shape and position is based on the say so of some or other aero software, saying that you can't just put any old dimple anywhere.
I too took that with a large pinch of salt as they want to sell pistons after all or they would also be carrying on about dimpled intakes and cylinder heads etc, which are slower moving, more expensive parts...
Now; I'm not so sure.
