should be find.. i seen stock heads do 9,000rpm all day long...would recommend up grade valves, would be less work at the end. scents your going to install springs and retainers, why not install stronger new valves too...

As long as you've upgraded the spring and retainers, the stock valves should be fine. If you're building a high revving NA car, running lighter valves isn't a bad idea. It makes less work for the valvesprings when you run lighter valves; however, with your goal of hitting 9k rpm, the stockers should work just fine...
