You can adjust the material in this menu, to get an accurate weight.

You need to do this for every part file in an assembly though.

I am not sure about Inventor 8 but in Inventor 7, on the left side menu (where they list all the parts) if you right click on the assembly and go to properties, and then click on the tab physical, it shows you weight. Inventor 7 and Inventor 8 shouldnt be THAT different from each other.

I just talked to Cory, and came to a conclusion that you will need to specify on each file the type of material you are using in order to get the right mass from the assembly.
