I would love to see more than 116rwhp from 6psi on a motor like this, but like you said it's a work in process. Could you post the graph using SAE correction factor?
Looks good.
Somewhere in the same range or maybe a tick better than a stroker. These numbers will improve with the finalizing of thee tuning, intercooling, exhaust and possible options of increase boost (though I probably wouldn't push it with stock internals) and meth injection.
Once again looks very nice. The curve isn't real steep as with SC'ing usually only max hp at screaming high rpms.
Look forward to see more results.

Reliability is the name of the game! I would really like an owner of a supercharged M5 to come after a year of moderate driving and say "this car has caused me no troubles"
Should be fine but obviously only time will tell. I say as long as boost is kept no higher than 6 psi the internals shouldn't be strained to any concerning degree. Must add though the S85 is a totally different animal than any other engine in this line from BMW.
G-Power has been successful with their set up.
Other big name tuners/engine builder like Underground Racing and Heffner have been very successful with high tech engines, ie. Lambo V10 and V12's along with Ferrari. They have bolt on kits though these are TT set ups.

Agree with this wholeheartedly!....I'd rather have slightly less power with less stress, but more durability....anxious for final release!
I recall reading in the other ESS SC thread that Asbjorn was hoping to put 50K miles on the test vehicle to ensure solid reliability before releasing the kit. That might be one reason why it's not expected to come to market till late spring or early summer.
