Default hypertec chip

i am new to the corvette tuning game and recently bought a 97 C5 with K&N intake, catback and a hypertec chip. it supposedly spun the dyno at 318rwhp. I want to get longtubes, high flo cats, Xpipe as well as a ls6 intake manifold and a ported TB. will my hypertec chip be ok or will it be off after that is done? i was told by the guy who sold it to me that it was a 1-tune chip. if anyone has the hypertec or can help me it is greatly apreciated. thanks!

programing chips dont work. Hand held progroamers only work so so. Take your car to a real tunner

Don't even think there are removable/programmable chips in 'Vettes. Probably has a download tune from a handheld. Pretty good numbers for a basically stock '97. I don't know CA., but if you're in the LA area, there's a great tuner @ A&A Corvette. After you do your exhaust mods, and whatnot, go there for a tune.
