fuel plate question

Just wondering what are the differemt fueling charecteristics between a 10 and 11 plate? I know the10 will make more but what is bettr for towing? Is the 11 more of a top end plate as opposed to the 10 midrange? Also herad that 11 do not work well with 3GSK? I am just worried the 10 might not be the best choice for me daily driver,towing 5-7000.

I have never run a 10, but MANY, MANY guys do on daily drivers and tow rigs. The 11 just does not seem to be a terribly popular plate, and I can't imagine a 10 being to hot for you with the weight you tow. I tow similar weight with a 100 just fine.

So even thought I can't directly answer you i guess I am saying get the 10...

10, or 100 plate will be fine towing that wieght. Depending on what pump u have, the plates have more affect on the bigger pump (215)

As of now I have a #11 plate in my 98. I want to upgrade to a #10, but can I out the #11 in my dads 94. By the website it shows that it is not recomended. What will be the results if I do put the #11 in the 94?

More power. Possibly enough to tear up the clutch/auto tranny. It won't hurt the engine.
