I have the weight of the brakes for the SS on the list. However I do not know the weight for the V6 brakes :(

What would that feel like, HP-wise?

You'd get a little more with a shorter tire vs. the stock tires too.
I've lost a lil over 40 lbs in my wheel / tire set up. It wasn't a huge gain in performance, however acceleration and responsiveness definitely increased.
