The 2008 Outlander V6 makes 220 HP at 6250 rpm. I highly doubt you got the engine to that RPM, as the automatic will always shift before that. Even in neutral it wont let you go that high.
OBD doesn't report HP, it calculates this via an algorithm that looks at a bunch of things. These depend purely on the current engine RPM.

ivanz is right.

What I meant by to the ground, was that power is lost through the transmission, transfer case, and driveshaft. 4WD and AWD vehicles can lose as much as 20% through those components.

rule of thumb is 25% loss on a awd vehical. if you really wanna know take it to a dyno.

hi
me again here a update


My Air filter was not close propely :s, lol that why i had small number, but now its too high haha.
well im up to 239 HP now i guess haha, i dont know how accurate it is, lol as the normal Outlander 2008 only have 220 HP, The only thing that might help is my K&N Air filter. dont think K&N Air Filter make me gain 19 HP, lol I WISH ! haha :P.

I have an other question, here you can see, when i press the trottle at the floor, it get max 86.7%. Any one have a idear why ?

those HP numbers are calculated and can easily be off by 10% or more. I do believe they are trying to estimate HP at the crank and not at the wheels.
