Default Balance of Power

Two part question:
Subarus have ways to provide more/less power to the front or rear wheels in thier AWD system.
A. Does anyone know what the 'stock' power distribution is?
B. Is there a way (ECU flash?) to change it?
This doesnt neccecarily mean I intend to do it. Im actually pretty pleased with the way the car handles and the power that it has stock... but Im wondering if it is even a possibility.

To be honest I don't think it can be fixed or changed. So your going to have to deal with it.

I used to know the bias but right now it eludes me. I do know that the it is mainly the front wheels doing all the work, not to mention after 30 MPH the Volvo AWD system is no longer working it is strictly FWD after 30 MPH.

I can't say it applies to all. But I wouldn't doubt it.

Who knows.
