Here's all you need to know about stock valve springs....they suck.

Out of curiosity, why are you needing the info on the stock springs?

From what I understand, the factory springs are just good enough to handle the stock cam and nothing else. If one has any illusion of using stock springs for anything other than a stock cam, please purge it from your mindset.
