Does this cam require a new chip?

Will my factory chip/prom work with this cam that I installed into my motor or will I have to get a new one made?
(Comp Cams Computer Controlled 260/260 duration, .444.444 Lift 112LSA)
I e-mailed comp cams a couple times but havent got any responses from them?

Well to be totally honest, all cars could gain some hp from a good tune.
So it wouldn't hurt.

I had to get my car tuned with the cam I installed.
But I swapped more then just my cam.

The car will run but it will not run as it would with an new tune.
I would tune it with a cam change... To get proper operation.
