FB is very economy oriented, but more aggressive cams wouldn't be able to improve the torque that much since efficiency drops pretty fast after 75% atmospheric density charge.

I think we can see more than 200Nm at peak power, which could possibly bring it over the 200hp mark. I'm saying 210 if there is some kind of surprise addition of valve lift control which probably won't happen. Judging from the Subaru shiny engine picture there is no Valvematic which allows for an even more aggressive high rpm lift characteristic than your typical stepped system, so we definitely won't be beating the 2GR-FSE (no variable lift/duration) in terms of specific torque as I pointed out.
