Default Are AC Rapid fire spark plugs a good LT1 replacement plug?

My local NAPA auto parts store is having a sale on AC Rapid fire spark plugs along with a $1.00 per plug rebate. Is the Rapid fire spark plug a good replacement plug for my LT1 Corvettes? and whats up with the recommended plug gap of 060? thats the largest plug gap that I've ever seen most plug gaps range between 035-045, so can the suggestion of 060 plug gap be a mistake?
Thanks Boonie

for 99.99% of your driving, the ac rapid fire platinums at the factory recommended gap, will be just fine in your LT1.

It's no mistake. Modern ignition systems are HOT and capable of jumping a very large gap. The plugs should be fine.
