[1/5/15 UPDATED WITH FORD TRAINING DOCUMENTATION]:
It notes that the 2.3L EcoBoost in the new Mustang generates 275HP and 300 LB-FT torque on 87 octane fuel, a loss of 11.3% and 6.25% respectively.

According to the reviewer on jalopnik, who spoke to a Ford engineer...
It's the first FR application of this engine (it's used in the Lincoln MKC, but tweaked for the 'Stang), with an air-to-air intercooler and 18 psi of boost. Ford is quick to point out that those power figures are gleaned from running 93 octane, which I don't get out in California (stuck with 91-octane piss fuel), but according to an engineer I was grilling, the Ecoboost can run on 87 octane "all day long", while losing 13 percent of its power, but retaining its peak torque.
