I never had a 170 with the Hyper Pak... I'd love to drive one!
I did drive a lot of 225's though.. my fave was a '76 Volare station wagon.. bright orange with woodgrain on the sides. 225 super with a floor shift 3 speed + OD. My friend had a '76 coupe with a 225 super automatic.. we raced against each other a lot.. 75 or so in the backwoods quarter mile. I always beat him by at least 2 car lengths. Pissed him off so much he stripped his coupe.. no back seat, no carpet, no headliner, no interior door panels, no spare or jack.. I still beat him by a car length. He never realized my wagon was running 3.23 screws and he was running 2.70's or so.
That said, while it was a fun car for what it was, I never thought I'd embarrass that '69 Chevelle SS at the lights. I knew what it was.
I don't think even that Hyper-Pak 170 would embarrass any kid with a decent running Honda at the stoplights.
Just my (usually useless) opinion.
