The stock twins transmission isn't known for being super strong when adding power. People have had success with it, but that's also because the drivers mod is there. I doubt you'd be able to make that kind of power on the transmission reliably if you're doing things like clutch kicking.
The other issue with the twins is the engine, particularly the oiling, when it comes to drifting. Being a flat engine, under high G force the oil tends to go to one side of the engine which causes oil starvation. The other issue is that subaru just uses a trash oil pick up tube that breaks. Yes you can install a baffle and a new pickup tube, but I personally still wouldn't trust it for drifting purposes. I'm not saying people shouldn't, I'm just saying I wouldn't.
The only reason to go with a twin over a Z for your power goals would be if you simply just love the chassis. The Z already makes near the power that you want. The Z comes with a CD009 (late model 350Z and 370Z) transmission which are known for holding more than enough power than what your goals seem to be.
You could get a twin and K swap it with a turbo and transmission swap it. But at that point you would have spent way more money on it than you would a Z with coil overs, sway bars, and some bolt ons. This is just my usually incorrect opinion though.
As for the super charger, someone else can probably answer that question.
