I have been told that Chipping my 1974, V-6 1800 would be a waste of money. I may only gain 5 HP. Is this true and is there any other way of increasing acceleration?

There are two options for significantly increasing acceleration: either swap the engine out for a KLZE or KLDE + turbo, or swap the whole car out for something faster.
