My friend told me that 1ZZ-FE valve springs can be a good subtitute for the stock valve springs. He said that the 1ZZ-FE valve springs are stiffer almost twice of the stock valve springs have.
I know that aftermarket valve springs would be a better choice, but since I'm still using stock camshaft, I'm afraid that aftermarket valve springs would be too harsh for the stock camshaft (the camshaft and its lobes cannot withstand the pressure from the aftermarket valve springs). Has anyone ever installed 1ZZ-FE valve springs into 1NZ-FE engine?. Any issues?.

Stock rev-limit is around 6500 rpms...so how are you up at 7k? For your question I don't think anyone has swapped out 1zz springs for 1nz's. If you had one of each spring, you could do a bench test and get your answer that way.
