The obvious answer is yes. An increased load on the engine could reduce the life of said engine.
But an extra 10% is unlikely to do much harm. My STI went from 265 to 340 bhp with no issues.

P.S. Well there was one issue..... it made me think I wanted even more !

I'm not personally aware of the issues with the WRX and HG issues on the Hawkeye. I know it effected the STI's until Subaru (so I'm led to believe) changed the way the heads were torqued up.

" Apparently " the 2.5 WRX doesn't suffer quite the same way as the STI with the HG/ ringland failures, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that if I were you.
I'd always say, if it's working fine and you can't afford to fix it if it goes **** up then why take the risk, if however you can afford to fix it then go for it.
