The Wayne Dempsey/Pelican Parts article gives a summary of what engines can go into what Boxster/Cayman from their perspective.

This engine had approximately 50,000 miles on it from new. The engine spun up to over 10,000 rpm and was toast and the gearbox damaged.

With newer and faster cars being built every year, the car was no longer competitive in SCCA stock class. I also competed in PCA time trials and track day/DE events for nearly 18 years. My 2001 Boxster S was autocrossed in stock class in SCCA events for more than 10 years (two drivers, 35+ events a year).
