918's are rated for .600 lift so yes they will work. But they wont work for long.

Should work because I ordered the diamond pistons with 2cc reliefs in them from Paul at ThunderRacing verifying that the T-Rex would Fit in there at .608/.612 with shaved 5.3 heads. I can go with more lift if i want to. You should be fine but definitely upgrade your springs. a broken spring can either be a quick fix or an expensive lession.
