Yes, "... Better is to return if after the radiator/before the pump inlet - which should be the same as your output side. But, as Bob pointed out you really don't need to cut into that expensive custom radiator,  You could put a "T" in the radiator to pump inlet hose and flow the return back into the "T".
 
 However, the radiator fins on the outside of the radiator do not affect coolant/flow  pressure directly - they do in an indirect fashion by varying the heat rejection effectiveness of the radiator which in turn causes the total coolant pressure in the entire system to vary.

Thanks for input Ed...since the radiator fins increase the pressure on the input side of the radiator, wouldn't it be okay to return then to the output side of the radiator?
