Im using bugless beast with P3droids 1250mhz lv kernel. I was want to do custom frequencies to add more steps. specifically i want 125/250/400/550/700/800/850/900/950/1000/1050/1100/1200/1250

1. is that safe? im not going any higher or lower than I already was
2. what numbers would i put in the setcpu file. is 125mhz 125000(1000khz/mhz) or 12800(1024khz/mhz)? im, assuming the latter, but unsure.
 
I think you misunderstood the function of setcpu and kernels. Setcpu can only run at the frequencies set in the kernel referred to as steps. At most you will see a 7 step kernel anything higher has proven to be unstable or problematic.

In short you would be looking for a 14 step kernel due to the 14 frequencies you are looking for, setcpu only shows what is available and can not force frequncies not allowed by the kernel.
