when changing a 5.0 speed density car over from auto to manual.
do you need to swap computers, or will the auto computer work.

I'm not sure if there would be any adverse effects with speed density, but I know the mass-air computers are pretty much interchangable. The big difference being some of the ignition functions wih the AOD cars having slightly more aggressive timing.

I would bet that you would be fine using the auto ECU.
