Dual springs are recommended but you can get by just fine running some shimmed 918's.

I agree, 918's will be just out of spec., but they will work without drama. Also, valvefloat will not be an issue above 6000rpm with the 918's, but you will have no insurance against dropping a valve on a broken spring. Many here would not take the chance.
