...could do that ^^^! But, do you really think that AM would sell a tune that would make your Cobra so lean!? ...I would just look to go on a dyno to be safe! ...I know the place I'm going to in late April, is offering an "April special" of 2 pulls for $40...maybe there's a shop around you! ...that would tell where that canned tune stands!

AM wouldn't purposley do it.. no.
But that's not the point. What you're not getting is that it could be a great tune on the car they tuned at their shop but blow up in yours.
A canned tune i had gotten from them way back when on another car was CRAP... a couple of people I know that got them were CRAP... and those were on PI GT motors...
Honestly... I would go try to find an unlocked one on ebay or something then take it to a tuner... you'll be much better off.
You need a custom tune on that car.. the TB, intake and pulley all together warrant it. I would also try to find a smaller pulley; because once you make it a bit smaller you'll need a re-tune anyways. Stock tune, nor a canned tune really isn't safe.... but then again, it's your car and your wallet.
But dont come on here complaining if you detonate something because you ran to lean and you now have to fork out 5-10k for a complete new motor... spend the extra 200-300 bucks.
