John, this is my simple way of determining HP given  another hp:

HP2  =  HP1 (new speed^3/old speed^3)
             
    where HP2 is the new horsepower desired
                HP1 is the old horsepower needed to run at a given speed

in this case HP2 = HP1 (211*211*211/200*200*200) = HP1 (1.17424)

or it will take about 17.4% more horsepower. 

Remember HP is a function of the cube of speed.
