"It works on golf balls because those fly through the air."

Let's talk dimple porting. Effective practice or unnecessary wallet-lightening? Is the juice worth the squeeze?

"At the risk of oversimplification, these are similar to the effects of dimples on a spinning golf ball. In the case of the golf ball, they tend to provide flight stability (as opposed to no dimples). In an engine's inlet air/fuel charge path, they can help put fuel that has become separated from the air stream back into some measure of suspension for combustion enhancement, certainly when compared to un-combusted fuel that passes directly out the exhaust system."

From the Jim McFarland Mixture Motion link I posted above.
