Is anyone else experiencing their website being messed up? Did they shut down or move to another website? Was looking into trying to buy headers from then but can’t seem to get the website to work. Could be my operator error too lol

The website is down for me too. I don't know what is up. Maybe just an IT issue, or worse. We'll see i guess

they are having an IT problem. someone did a change to the website, DEBUG mode is on, you can tell by reading the error msgs being generated. if you page down, you can get past the msgs and find the webpage.

this was at 10:18pm Eastern time

Maybe..just maybe.....or are we too young to pick up the phone and speak to a human being?

The website is not the best way to navigate through the waters of TPIS. It’s a small company in a rural area of Minnesota. I have been there and spent a lot of money there because they embraced these cars for years.

Talk to Jim.

I was able to get in touch with Jim today so sounds like it's just a website issue. They are sending me a tune for my miniram conversion.

Or maybe, just maybe, I am in a country and do not have access to calling without it costing a fortune and can barely even get on the internet because it is so slow here. That could be an option too.

Thanks everyone for the help on letting me know it is just a website error. Hopefully it will get resolved soon so I can have some parts waiting on me for when I get back.

I was very satisfied with TPIS, I got the ZZ 409 cam and all valve train parts from them on the rebuild of my 90. 👍
