Good question. I can tell you that I have chirped the rear tire(s) with Stabilitrac off, so my guess is more to the rear. I know that Subaru, atleast my '98, had about 70% to the rear and 30% to the front. This is why the rear end would still kick out slightly before the differential could accomadate for the loss of traction.

I had video floating around somewhere of me spinning the truck and the back tires completely freely spinning, the rear tires definately have a lot of power routed to them

Got this from another thread


***A performance-oriented all-wheel drive system is available, giving the TrailBlazer SS impressive on-road grip and enhanced “launch” feel. The always-engaged system uses a Torsen center differential to split torque between the front and rear wheels. It is a torque-bias system that detects low traction at one axle and directs more torque to the other when needed – it is capable of changing the normal 67-percent rear-axle torque bias up to 45/55 (front/rear) or 25/75 (front/rear), depending on the road conditions.

Nice!
