Whatever has been delivered to that axle, ie if its 50/50 then you get upto the 100% of the power that has been delivered to that axle only, if the rear wheels for instance have lost grip then they still retain their torque split but thats when your LSD comes into play.
You will never get 100% of the full torque going to one wheel, well not unless its fwd or rwd with an LSD

I wouldn't buy a 2.5 engined car for track work, for 2 reasons.

1. The 2.5 runs hotter than the 2.0
2. Sooner or later your going to need to rebuild it, especially if your working it hard.

Why put yourself through it, everytime you take it on track you'll be waiting for it to let go. Hang fire for a while with the wagon, get some more track time under your belt save up some more and just go buy yourself the right tool for the job, it will save you a fortune in the long run.

I don't understand, if 0% torque is going to the three other wheels then surely 100% has to be going to the wheel with traction, especially if the centre diff is "locked"
