071 are a good plug for any state of tune, but there are better, but dearer plugs.
Up to stage1 I would use AGPR12PP8, or the denso equivalent(from ford).
Above that for stage 3 I use IK31's.

what do you gap 071's to on stage 3, i have ik27's at the moment but have developed a bit of a misfire on boost, so thought these would be a cheap option to test if it the plugs

I use champion QC57C on any cossie running high boost. Theyre a very cold plug so the idle is a little lumpy for the first minute due to plug fouling, but after the engines warmed up theyre great. I think they seem to reduce misfires on boost as well.
Best 30 quid i ever spent on my own cossie...

....u'd be better off ringing NMS and finding out what he set the plugs at and checking the gap on the ones u've got.....iridiums last a long time so they might just need gapping again.................mine are gapped at .75mm
