Power is power. You can't say 350hp from a similar weight LS requires $40k more in supporting mods than a 350hp Porsche engine.
So to clarify the brake query, the only reason you need bigger brakes for a LT/LS conversion is because of the weight difference?

944na to LT/LS is 150-400LB more weight
951 to LT/LS is 50-200LB more weight

So you do need to upgrade brakes and probably suspension, correct?
