The factory installed springs should be close to this also.

EDIT: I just checked 7 sets of used 4G63 valve springs, and only came up with 1 and a half sets of decent used springs.
Most springs checked between 45-55 Lbs @ 1.575
I would say a good spring should test at [email protected], Most spring manufactures, will allow 10% loss in spring tention for spring "break in"
I used a Rimac spring pressure tester.

Can I put delta k272 and rev upto 7000 rpm's with springs and retainers stock? or need upgrade springs and retainers.
Thanks

Sines those are the Delta clones of the Kelford Cams 272, you would need the same spring upgrade as the "name brand" Kelfords
 
Not to bring up the thread again, but weight has A LOT to do with valvetrain behavior. Valvetrain that weighs more will be affected more be inertia than valvetrain that weighs less. I run a good set of stock evo 8 springs with stainless valves, and I lost quite a bit of valvetrain weight. I lost 37 grams per valve/spring/retainer with stainless valves and evo springs.
