Assuming you're serious, then you should know that the SMGII is built around the same getrag type D 6 speed gearbox that is in the stock M5.

Clearly it can take the torque of the stock M5 motor.

Can it go 600 ft-lbs? I doubt it. M5's already have a habit of eating their clutches, so a larger motor would likely overtax at least that item, if not the mechanicals behind it in the 6 speed.
