This is a very simplified way of looking at it! Sure you have the same weight and the speed limit is the same, but don't try and tell me you won't try the odd high-speed run when you install your high-horsepower engine! And believe me, you DON'T want to attempt a stop from 200km/h with stock TA22 brakes.
You also need to remember that your car will get up to any given speed much faster than it did before, so for example if you're driving on a twisty road you will be carrying more speed into each corner which means more stress on the brakes. I discovered after putting the 2JZ-GTE into my Supra the brakes suddenly felt VERY ordinary, even though they were quite good with the old engine. The car is now lighter AND I upgraded to better pads, but the brakes still aren't good enough!
Remember the basic purpose of your brakes is to dissipate any power generated by your engine as heat. More power = more heat = overstressed brakes. Simple physics!
