As EF said, the figures quoted when talking about the power figures are flywheel. The power figure is an average of a sample of engines they put on the dyno.

and then it becomes confusing as Holden use a different typre of measurement when it comes to kW ratings as well ... compared to Ford.

Dyno's can be a long way out between 1 and the other. Whereas the avg of 10 engines on a bench gives a preety good indication of power & torque output Another thing to think about is, to dyno a car the engine must be in, & you would get 2 different reading between a manual and automatic, even using the same engine.

which works out to about what HLC has in his signature ... it can vary between 110-120 rwkw though ... depends on the tune of the vehicle and how well it has been looked after. Also the auto can give a slightly lower reading than the manual due to stall converter robbing a few kw.
