Make sure your '87 is timed correctly, even a tiny bit advanced if you promise not to use cheap gas.

The 92 does not have adjustable timing. But both have an intake air hose that can get splits in it, or collapse. Make certain both have good hoses from the AMM to the throttle.

Other than that, well do the math. 115hp moving 3200 lbs = sedate performance. It's why Volvo built Turbos.
