I'd be shocked if the weight of the entire unit was more than 50 pounds... So I wouldn't look for a huge effect on the car's balance due to the weight. Now if you combined the rear turbo with a carbon hood, Shuriken battery, etc... then you might be looking at a 1% adjustment. Stock is 54/46 if I'm not mistaken, so you might be looking at a 53/47... Not a huge difference...
I've seen the stock SRT dyno between 275-285, depending on the dyno type. Factor in the 3.27 gearing and it should be an interesting race, as long as you're racing a stock one.
I'm most curious about the six speed, and how it's going to hold up. I recall the 1st gear being unbelievably short, even with ~245 flywheel horsepower. You guys with the 6MT and the turbo might as well launch in 2nd, hahaha... Not only for traction but for the sheer speed at which you will run out of gear and be forced to shift.
