I'm pretty sure it will be GTA in PCA. I looked into it when I wanted to go racing in my GT3 and was told GTA by multiple sources (scruts, rules, etc).
As far as NASA, sounds like you would be GTS4 or 5 depending on weight. I don't know anything about POC so I couldn't comment.

I will race the car where it is competitive and in a class with a high car count.

How are you going to run GTS3 at 3050 with driver? You'd have to dyno out at 277 just to be at the very top limit of GTS3. The GT3 will typically dyno in the 325-350 range which means you would have the weigh in the 3575-3850 range (with driver) to run GTS3. And this is all taking into account you'd run Dot-R tires not slicks.
The spec boxsters BARELY slot into GTS2 (and need ballast to do so) or they would run in GTS3. No way the GT3 is running in GTS3.

I'm pretty sure you'll have more than 330rwhp with an open exhaust, modified air box, and a GIAC flash which is what GMG uses. We got that out of a 3.6 X51 recently. Regardless you'll never make GT4 without carrying Oprah onboard....
So your target should be to try and keep it in GT3 (my class) along with fellow GMG competitor Gary Tolar. GT2, the next level up w/POC, has all those worn out 6 and 7 cups along with the "Yellow Bee". Those cars are turning 1:22-1:23's at Willow Springs, and 1:43's at Cal Speedway. Tough crowd to break in with....
You should come out to Willow Springs May 1-2 and watch some of the races....

My 2 cents, went through a similar process with my GT3, weight with me in it is 3089, SAE dyno for NASA at 340 - puts me squarely in GTS4 but I could stand to loose ~170lbs. to maximize power/weight. I would have to add 700+ lbs to make GTS3.
NASA Guidance
DOT GTS4 -> 8.5 - 10.99 and GTS3 -> 11 - 14.49
Non-DOT GTS4 -> 9.0 - 11.99 and GTS3 -> 12 - 15.99
Calc can be found here: http://www.nasagts.com/rules/
