Any mod will void the warranty on the specific item being modded. Beyond that it depends on whether or not the mod is likely to have caused some other component to fail. An aftermarket shifter is unlikely to result in an oil pump failure but could be blamed for a transmission problem. An intake system is unlikely to cause a cooling system problem but could result in certain engine problems (water ingestion). Get the idea? When you get into major mods then most of the power train warranty will be void.

Take a peek at my sig. to see what I've got on mine. Everything except the CLB and the brake system was installed by the Vette Mechanic at the dealership where I bought it :yesnod: No warranty issues for me here. Some of these issues will be addressed differently from one dealership to another as others will testify, so you might want to talk to the Vette Mechanic where you have your's serviced to see if he is Mod friendly and will help you out if there is a question or not as well.
Good luck and be Mod happy!! You have to be as it is an addiction hard to overcome :D

The burden of proof is on the manufacturer to prove that your mod caused damage, not yours to prove that it did not.
