It's not uncommon at all to see some valve float from a stock valvetrain setup.

Thats funny that you mention that your power drops off hard at 5200 rpms....well its no surprise to me because the stock cam is supposed to have peak power at 5200 rpms!!! If you look at a stock graph, you'll see that the power drops off hard after 5200 rpms, its cam limited, not your springs or pushrods, although it wouldn't hurt to check them.
