I hate to disagree but having worked on black series cars the only reduction in weight is from the front and rear bumpers and the roof.
The roof frame is still standard 55 with normal locking units holding it in place they simply have a pin locking them closed so the roof is not a structural component on the black series car.
As for performance frankly they have put no effort into it the level of power they have boosted it to is something the engine was capable of way back when it was designed they have simply made some token changes to the engine auxiliaries (notice i did not say engine there) to produce the extra power.
The Kleeman SC does not run at the same boost level as the OEM MB unit on the M113SC versions so the pistons are not changed in any way neither are any of the other engine components, i don't think at the boost levels involved the engine is in any danger but to add more boost i think it would be necessary to work on the internals to prevent a nasty mess.
The rabus produces way more power than 445 that is the quoted figure for the increased displacement mod alone my car has had considerably more done to it than just that and its pushing out more to the tune of high 500's.
