NO they will not work, and if they do work they will not work very long. You'll need a dual spring set up that is rated to hold the lift of a TRex, which is .608/.612 assuming a stock rocker or stock rocker ratio. Thunder Racing recomends either a Crane Cams dual spring set up and they offer a Comp Cams dual spring for an additional $250. Good luck and buy some ear plugs

Everyone I know, myself included, runs the PRC springs with all of our big cams. Not a bad price either, here's a link:
