So with Flat 6 Innovation changing over to injecting oil into the bearing, I believe Pedro has merit to his claim.

Sorry, but it was the other way around; Jake Raby got the patent both for the solid bearing and the oil feed, which is why Pedro could never lay claim to it or patent it (which the original developer - Tuner Motorsports - tried, but was denied. Pedro is only licensee of this product, not the developer).

BS, Pedro came out with the "DOF" long before Flat 6 Innovations came out with the "Solution" and the "DOF" is patented.

i don't even think it was TuneRS that developed it, was it? I recall reading the big long thread on ... pelican? ... where it was just some guy working on it, developing testing jigs, etc. i'd thought that TuneRS might have bought the idea from him?

Pedro tells us exactly how it was developed, but he did not mention the name of the company he worked with. However, TuneRS is located in Florida.
