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.
Oviously you need to look into traction as well. But I suspect that a thread called "iND/AMS Alpha F10 M5 Traction Program Testing. Decrease wheelspin Goal!" wouldn't get the same attention on the board...

There are obviously tire and suspension mods available that are more biased towards optimum traction than the stock M5 setup. The stock tires are a compromise between traction, noise, longevity, rolling resistance etc. Just changing the tires to a softer compound/semi slicks will give better traction (but a short lifespan on the tires...).

Anyway, amazing project. Best of luck!
