725 ft lbs with only a chip upgrade? That number sounds a little high.
The Edge EZ adds 65hp and 150 ft/lbs torque.
Add it up and you're looking at 390 hp and 760 ft/lbs torque.
I tend to understate things but this is as accurate as I can get at this point.

Well in that case I have a few questions if you dont mind answering.
How is your tranny holding up? I would love to get that kind of power out of my truck but I am to worried about screwing something up.
Have you had any problems running it?
I have been looking for somebody that has a chip in their truck to get some feed back from (cant believe everything you read on the internet).
Also do you notice a big difference (is it worth the money)?
Thank you

When you start adding power to these trucks you need to be a little gentle on the go pedal. What I mean is try not to stand on it from a dead stop all the time, no boosted launches or four wheel drive launches. After you get going you can hammer it more! The tranny can take alot of abuse but eventually, being the weak link, it's gonna give. As for your ?? on do the chips work, he!! yeah they work. You just need to do your homework and choose the right one. Just wanted to add that this is for diesels, gassers don't respond to chips like a diesel.

LTZEvil said it pretty well.
The Edge EZ has three performance settings. Under normal driving conditions, I run it on 3. It actually gets better mileage there...amd performance. When towing, I run it on level 1, because the EGT's are much higher when towing, and I end up with a Check Engine light otherwise. Which, brings an important point up, GUAGES! You gots to have da guages!!!! I have an EGT and Boost, though to be honest, I wish I had a spot for a Tranny guage too. Those three are important if you're planning on chipping your truck. I also run synthetic fluids throughout. A good intake and exhaust will also help, not just in performance, but in keeping the EGT's within reasonable levels.
As for performance, it does make a noticable difference both during normal driving and while towing. As an example, this past weekend I was towing my 12k lb trailer up an 8 mile long 6.5% grade outside of Bishop and easily holding 50-55mph.
