performance radiator cap?

are these safe to use that have higher pressure or will it mess up something? or do they even do anything compared to stock? I wanna get one but not have problems later. here are my choices I'm deciding on:

well technically they are 1.3 instead of 1.1 so they keep the coolant at higher pressure. this will increase the boiling point by about 10F or so. I bought the greddy one

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Its pretty hard to overrun the cooling system. so I can't see it being of much use.
