how much do you think it hurts cooling ability??

No it probably won't, simply because a fin that high would only be a benefit at low flow rates, i.e. < 1/2 gpm, at which point the performance would suck, regardless.
Nice work though. I've been contemplating sandblasting, and I have to look into "bead blasting", just because I don't know what it is, precisely. The sandblasted surface is probably more flow restrictive, with a Hazen-Williams factor of 80 or less, where bead-blasting, in my rough estimate, might give a factor of 100.
