Stock rods WILL work, but to keep the same lifter pre-load, you need rods that are .025 (7.425) longer since the cam has a .050 smaller diameter base circle. Couldn't tell ya where to get them, since i didn't use them. The gains will be from mid to mostly upper rpm range. Instead of falling off around 5800, will pull hard to 6200+.

You didn't have any issues with the stock length?
If I change them out should I go hardened?

You got the springs from SDPC right.

I didn't. It's up to you if you want hardened, might be more reliable in the long run, who knows...

If you're gonna swap the cam, throw some hardened rods in while its apart.
