Default ECU swap '06 is350

So my cousin runs a local shop, I told him how impossible it was to tube our ecu. he claims he can get me a new ecu and gain me like 50hp or so AND my cooled seats and ac and other stuff would still work. do we have a separate ecu to control the accessories in the car? And that ecu swap should work right?...cuz it's just a new ecu and not a tune. Thanks!

I don't think your cousin knows what he is doing.

Figured that'd be the case. Swear I read something a long time ago saying even a new ecu would stop the accessories from working right. I didn't think there was much tuning left to do for our engines anyway
