Thank you for the explanation, Tom. A/C is out and under-drive pulley was supposedly installed per the build sheet when I bought the car as a BSX. In your opinion, would having the lighter flywheel provide a noticeable improvement in acceleration as well?

My suspicions about my motor came back recently because I was looking at a partial lap video of a beginner driver in a spec Boxster at Willow Springs this past weekend. The driver was completely lifting going into turn 8 and feathering the throttle through it, braked earlier into turn 9, then turned in a lap time not much different than mine. If I had done the same thing, I certainly would have been at least two to three seconds slower if not more if you extrapolate that over the entire lap. Then I thought about a few instances when I would get a run on another Boxster ahead of me coming out of turn 9 but it didn't matter once we got going down the straight.
