As seen in the new 2015 Lincoln MKC, the 2.3 EB officially makes 285 horsepower and 305 lb.-ft. of torque. Note that Ford's official spec lists the fuel requirement as 87 octane - but the sales website lists the HP and torque as "achieved" with 93 octane.
The standard 2.0 EB makes 240 and 270. So nothing new there, this is what we see elsewhere in the Ford lineup for this engine (including the Falcon and the Jaguars).
What's holding up Ford? Now that the "base" 2.3 is announced and in production, Mustang tuning can be finalized for North America. And then there are the worldwide tuning requirements - that's not easy as they are all different and Ford wants to ship the 2.3 EB Mustang this year too. So that may hold it up.
Or Ford might want to announce the final specs of all three engines at the same time. The F-150 donates the engine to the Mustang, and the specs for that have not yet been announced. So that will hold up the announcement of the 5.0 Mustang specs - or all of the specs.
