Older ones you fitted forged rods, uprated cam shafts, lsd's, etc and you were good to push them. As I say I don't know a lot about tuning modern volvo's.
You can still do it, just depends on the car - Looks at the R35 GTR, so many of those are running over 600hp with not a lot of real effort.

Also, polestars 350hp T6, I was talking to my Uncle about it the other day, that engine is hardly pushed. You could buy one of those, remap them (no idea who could do it though!) fit two larger turbos and again, be running well into the 450/500hp area....

IIRC though, Volvo have now locked their ECU's on the newer cars....Could be wrong though.
