Your sig doesn't indicate that you have a tune so, if not, then the best mod would be waiting until you have the extra few $$ for a custom tune and handheld. Otherwise, here are a few things I'd consider putting that $200 towards:
- gears
- aluminum DS
- UDPs

What are UDP's?

Underdrive pulleys. They don't add RWHP but they do free-up some of the drivetrain loses (as does the aluminum drive shaft). If you afford to lose the cats, then LT headers are a great mod.

How to decide if I can afford to do that...
Anything that'll gain me 10+hp?

For $200? No. A CAI without a tuner will net you ~5hp for about 200 bucks. UDP's will free up about another 3-4hp.
I'd say the next step up would be gears. No horsepower gain, but a big jump in acceleration. And these along with install and the highly recommended t-loc will set you back more than 200. Or just go with an 8.8 rear with your gear choice. But both of these options will cost around 1k depending on the shops in your area or if you or a buddy has a good deal of experience with gear installation.
Speed ain't cheap!

I can jack my car on stands and use a pump jack to lower it off.
My friend is a city kid. Anything that weighs over 50lbs he won't lift. I'm in the country. I lift anything that won't blow up.

For $200 you can't really get much in the way of performance.
However you could get some appearance stuff.
If I remember right your car doesn't have a chin spoiler, that would really beef up the front end of your 6.
Or you could always just save a little more and get some other performance stuff.

If you can find a cheap set of GOOD LT headers, you'll pick up about 10 RWHP. Since you have the CAI & tune already, the only other big-gainer is cams with LT's if you're not going FI. Everything else is 3 here, 5 there...
