Yes, I see what you mean mickyork. It would be tricky to get air to circulate around the lower parts the barrel with vertical fins though. You could design some really elaborate arrangement with some spiralling etc as someone else suggested.
I'd struggle to achieve that in my garage with some thin plate and pop rivets though
What you suggest definitely has merit but unfortunately for most of us, we're not in the position to pursue these kind of things; Ron Moss, Richard Taylor etc have shown that it can be done though.
All that said, the couple of people who's work I've plagiarised have put their overly tuned 50 year old utilitarian 'peds through some pretty severe testing using just these cowling enhancements.
