I think that's for the new style of plug that AC Delco produces for these motors (new as compared to what came stock in these motors).
If you're using an NGK TR55 though, the gap should be somewhere in the .050 to .060 range for best performance.

Stock gap was .060 on the factory platinum plugs. Several years ago, GM released a new iridium plug for the LS1 that comes gapped at .040, and Gm does not recommend changing the gap on that specific plug.
The NGK TR55 plug comes gapped from NGK at .059.
