i didn't completly understand what you said about the bypass and bore thing so i will give my opinion based on what i did understand.
did you mean that little hole where the air goes through when the throttle plate is completly closed??
that hole leads to the Idle Air Controller which controls how much air the engine sucks in durring idling so the hole is just a passage to the real controller here.
in other words; any mods to the port won't affect the car... the IAC is the one responsible for the amount of air regardless of the port's size. if you made the port bigger so that more air can go in then the AIC will close a little bit to compansate for the added air.
also if you drill too much you will mess the AIC's seat and it won't close properly and cause you many idling speed problems, fuel consumption and overheating so you are better off not doing this.
as for bypassing the Resonator... it will reduce the air restriction indeed, i personally did that and it improves the car's response for sure.
as for the stock air box... people say it is restrictive too so if you got a CAI it will make your car even more responsive.
for best results: take off both your OEM air box and resonator and replace them with a CAI but make sure to extend the intake pipe into the hole which the OEM air box used to sit on and mount the cone filter in the wheel well. also pop out the fog light cover in the fender so that you get a continous supply of cold air.
