Welcome welcome...I'm also not too sure about the TB porting. I know a few have ported their superchargers, and there are some looking into TB swaps, but it's still in the works

really if you are just starting to mod out your ss than there is really no need to be porting anything yet. yes porting dose make some hp but inreturn do you have something in your cobalt to tune for the more air you are going to put into the engine it might make it run lean if you port to much too soon with out a tune. so if i where you i would hold off till you got more mods and a tunning program.

if you're F/I (or plan on going that route in the future) you're better off boring instead of porting. just an FYI since i never know if you balts that say you're SS are really SS/SC...

Welcome to the site. You know, the first mod IMO is GM Stage II. If your looking to keep the factory arnity like me. Stage II is like a brand new car. I have the extended warnity though and I know alot of people who have the 36k or whatever it is go crazy after that point. Good luck, hope to hear more from you.
As for porting the tb, I don't know much about it.
