Do you mean 170hp to the wheels or at the flywheel?
I'll assume flywheel...which means you have 140hp stock with the SOHC.  So we're talking another 30hp.  
I/H/E is start...probably 15hp gain at the flywheel.  A good cam should get another 15hp at the flywheel....walla, you're done.  Now if you want 170 to the ground, you'll probalby need somewhere around  190 at the flywheel...another 20hp.  A lighter crank pulley will probably free up about 5hp.  Port and polish will probably get 8-10hp.  Then maybe if you could do some milling to bump the compression up and maybe run higher octane, you might could hit your mark.  Of course, all this is just a big educated guess.  It's possible to get that kind of power out of n/a, but it may take more or less than what I've just stated.
