071c for me too! 530bhp. The car doesn't like IKs. They die quickly.

071 plugs aren't what they used to be , you ll need to by a box of 10 to get 4 that actually work
even then they wont last any time
that's my experience with them anyway
I use ik 31 plugs now , never any problems

The best plugs I have found are the Autolite Racing AR3932 and AR3932X.
I have a Stage 3 Running 21psi and have tried 071's NGK Denso Champion etc. all of which burn up or need regapping frequently. Then I found that the Autolite Racing AR3932-AR3935 (heat range - cold to hot) are identical spec to the 071's due to the fact Ford used to own Autolite. The AR3932 etc. are much better made with a solid tip (no more pulling it off with the boot), and nickel coated, so easy on our aluminum heads. The ones I like the best, having run them for 2 yrs with no issue are the AR3932X NASCAR plugs, available on eBay for about $5 a plug. They have 4 ground points and the gap never changes. Highley recommend them!
