How to read a torque plate chart

I'm finally considering a power up-rate and am trying to figure out which torque plate I want to try. However, I'm a bit confused and would appreciate some clarification on the following point: why does a #10 plate show 220 hp/570 ft-lb on the 96-98 auto transmission and 330 hp/750 ft-lb for the manual box for that same year? What else besides the torque plate is different on the engines set-up between these two applications? I want to avoid getting myself into trouble with stacking the wrong plate on an injector swap.
