DJ,
I had my new M37s shipped from Atlanta to Kansas City. The price was $700 open carrier and $900 for enclosed carrier. Check out this site for reviews of transport companies....Transport Reviews.com - Ratings and Reviews of Auto Transport Companies - Your Source For Finding a Quality Auto Transporter!
I used Corporate Auto Transport LLC to my carrier. Talk with Tara, she is very helpful and knowledgeable.

do you think a 1800 trasportation to cali and back would b worth it to get a car worked on?
Fyi thinking of getting a GTM S/C kit, and wanted it to get done there

not worth it. YOU can easily find a reputable shop to install the kit for less than what You have to pay to ship the car

But of course if you only want GTM to install then that's what you'll have to do. Or be hardcore like shumby aka dumby and drive there. It'll only take Sam a few days to get it done depending on his schedule. It's very doable and trust me again, it'll be worth it

If you're still in the process of buying a G, you could look into buying it from a dealership local to GTM and then shipping it to NE after install. Save you half the transport cost.

Have you talked to Sam about arranging transport? He has companies he uses, he might be able to arrange a better deal for you then you can get on your own.

I shipped my car there, only crazy people drive their cars across the country for stuff like this...

Check out Uship.com I've had a few boats and a motorcycle transported through them. It's basically a reverse auction. You post what you need shipped, and various shipping companies bid their lowest price. Prior to accepting a company/bid you can read reviews, statistics, the companies fleet, speak to them, etc. Their are a lot of reputable companies looking to fill there loads on return trips etc. and willing to do it for cheap. On the other end of the spectrum you have half way decent individuals with the equipment trying to make some money. So it is very vast and lots of options. I highly recommend.

BTW I have no relation to the site whatsoever. Just passing along from personal experience.

Have you checked into local shops KC or STL. I've had good experience w/ Modified by KC (kansas city ) . They've done work for Eurotuner magazine project cars/product test. They installed my Active Autowerke s/c on my zhp. A centrifugal isn't as involved as turbo install. You could probably buy stage 2 for the money you save.
