What do I need and are there specific things involved, like if I want to bore it, what...

So I was doing some research around on different ways, nothing too crazy like engine swapping, but decent ways to increase some horsepower. I saw/found out that Scion xD parts engine wise at least can be changed out depending on if you CVT or not. Just wondering if anyone has came across this...

Hey there, I have a 2004 RunX 1.4 RS. If i'm in neutral and I rev the engine, the revs stay high for a bit after i've released the pedal. Like there is a delay between me releasing the pedal and the engine realising what the heck is going on. Any suggestions? Could it be the throttle cable...
