I picked up the GM Strut Bar off of Ebay for about $20 shipped. I'm very pleased with it and found that fitting the PCM was not as hard as I thought. I took a hack saw and cutout a semi-circle about 1 inch deep and 2 inches wide on the bracket where the bracket hit the Strut Bar. Now the strut bar slides into the semi-circle and the bracket fits where it originally was. You could also use zip ties to hold the PCM on the strut bar directly over the header, but I suggest some heat shielding if you are going to do that.

I got pissed at the bracket and whacked it in half with a sawz all. Now it works great.

Get yourself a dremel. Best tool I have ever bought.

I got one of them too but I was REAL pissed and wanted to tear the bracket up.
I used the dremel to smooth the edges.

The answer is yes, I have one...didn't relocated anything. I have the RSM front strut bar.
