Most bolt ons can be considered totally safe... but the lower gears will effect your engine longevity due to the engine running at higher RPMs overall... But that is the best bolt on move IMO regardless.
Blowers can be safer then the rear gear swap as long as you keep the boost specific to the internals of the engine... it is RPM that wears an engine not necessarily HP (again it matters how you get that higher HP).
