I also have a I-6 200, mine is a 70. I put in a K&N filter, $30, I felt the difference. Not a big difference but some, The easiest/cheapest way to get HP is to do a tune up. Very easy with a I-6, change the plugs to platinum and the wires. check the rotor and distributor cap, change them if they suck. DON'T FORGET THE POINTS! (Correct me if they got off points in mav's) and check the timing. If you switch to a electric fan you will feel that to, anyone have a price on that? There is some stuff you can buy at a Checker/Wal-mart ect. called Restore, it comes in a silver can that semi-resembles a tall soda can that will help is you have above 50,000 miles (it fills scratches in your engine). A more expensive way to go would be to change the gearing, 3.55's would make it go pretty fast but you wouldn't have a very high top speed. A 5-speed would help and you would get better milage too. Just my opinion.
