I've just installed Kali Linux on my SD card that I use with Raspberry. This new OS I think is very good, but at the installation I don't have the opportunity to overclock as it is possible with Raspbian so I'd like to try to check differences. How could I do?

I don't have Kali. But is there a /boot/ folder with a config.txt file in it? Alternatively if you put the SD card in a normal computer, is there a fat32 partition? – Vincent P Mar 27 at 5:11
Yes there is the /boot/ folder but is empty – AlessioMTX Mar 28 at 11:24

Add the config.txt file and put some overclocking settings in there Overclocking Settings and see if that works. – Vincent P Mar 28 at 12:31

config.txt is read by the hardware, afaik, so that should be the solution independent of your OS – krs013 Apr 30 at 0:51
@krs013 : Why do you believe "config.txt is read by the hardware"? Sounds a bit specious to me. – goldilocks Apr 30 at 8:19

While you may not be able to install raspi-config, you should still be able to create the file /boot/config.txt. Once config.txt is in /boot/, add any required parameters.

In your case, check out some of the overclocking options in the eLinux wiki. As always is the case with overclocking, be careful!
