I heard even with the rb26dett engine swap when they put it lower and farther back that it was "closer to a 50/50" .. so it couldn't have started with 51/49 and still be lacking perfect 50/50 after that. I'd believe 53/47 was more true.

I believe there was a slightly heavier bias towards the front...that was to help exit out of a corner?? or maybe heavier in the nose for understeer?? I forget now...

It's 53/47, but since it's FR, acceleration basically does a weight transfer to the rear tires. Also, the FM platform means that both the engine and the fuel tank are closer to the center of gravity, so it's not as hard to transfer weight.
