Personally, I think the M5 comes with plenty of power. So I can only imagine what 1000 horsepower feels! WOW!
I don't know that 1000hp will feel much different. Although it is a nice feat of engineering, how are you going to get that power to the ground? DSC is already intervening into 3rd gear. With more power, all that will happen is that DSC will intervene even more, leaving you with the same net result. With the DSC off, you will just spin and spin and/or completely lose control.

The engine is not where efforts need to be in terms of tuning the M5. The efforts need to be placed on better enabling the current power to get to the ground.
