What's the *real* horsepower of a b230f? 700 1992

Someone posted this a few subjects down:

>>>5/volvo hp figures have been notoriously fictional since the 60's

I myself a few months ago posted something about how I was surprised that a mere 114HP could launch my 3000+ pound perfectly unaerodynamic sedan down the road as well as it does, and top out around 110mph. It just doesn't seem possible.

Now the B230F is definitely a dog in the power compartment when compared to many modern fourbangers (consider the Honda Vtech!), but I wouldn't be surprised if it dynoed somewhere in the 135hp area.

Has anyone ever taken the trouble to dyno one of these things?
