Then move the AFC housing forward. <-- I assume you want more lowend fueling, that will help getting the trailer rolling, but you will increase your smoke output more than likely.

What is the chance that I will have to adjust the starwheel? <-- Depends on if you like where you end up with the AFC housing. AFC slide = big adjustment, Star Wheel = small adjustment. They both adjust the same thing, off boost fueling.

What do I want it set at if the need arises? <-- On the floor? I'd try the fuel plate now, see what you think, hook it to the trailer and pull it around, if you don't like it, start moving it forward.

I have a stock clutch, will I be O.K. for a while if I treat it nicely? <-- It will last exactly 30 seconds longer than your self control. If you're nice, sure it will get you by for a while, but I don't know what you and your trailer are going to be pulling around either.

How hard will this plate be on my drivetrain? <-- Muahahahaha. Again, quick shifts, boosted launches, etc, they all are hard on it. The clutch is going to be your weak point most likely, you'll start slipping it *usually* before other things break.

I'm not doing boosted launches or anything like that. <-- Sure you won't....

I might do a little "spirited" driving... <-- See statement above.

But the main reason is for the trailer I'm getting...

Is a #10 too much? Should I have went with an 11 or 12? <-- I think a #10 will do you fine, until you get used to it and then want even more power and then you'll get out your grinder and make it #100, then you'll buy a bigger input shaft, dual disc cluth, traction bars, GSK, cam, head, studs, new bottom end, balancer and then you'll have a pulling truck... not that its happened to me or anything, I'm just saying...

What are your experiences? <-- Due to a gag order I'm afraid I can't share much more.
