Bumping up the compression ratio for an O-200 from 7:1 to 8.5:1
should make it about 107 hp. Running 9.5:1 might bump it up to 112 or so.
Of course, I'm not sure if a C-150 has an STC for higher compression, and
it would remove any autogas STC you've got.

The only way is downhill. General (but universal) rule: If you
want to make your plane faster, sell it and buy a faster plane.
