when you get your car from the dealership, your car is tuned to its best potential (for its stock engine)... once you start upgrading (intake, exhaust, headers) your car has "room to improve"... once you've completed a few of those mods you should send you computer to a specialized shop that knows how to tune a 2.4 ss cobalt (HPtuners, Wester's Tune garage, etc.)... you do not need to send your whole car in, just your ecu

programming your car yourself can result in catastrophic results

Shannanigans!!! It's tuned for reliability and emissions, not performance. But it is best to wait until you have I/H/E before getting a custom tune, IMO.
