Default VOIDING WARRANTY

i no if you have some FORD RACING parts on your car than it won't void the factory warranty... but if you have ford racing cams in your car would that alone be enough to void the warranty??

When I had my cams put in the dealer said if there ever was a problem that the cams caused it wouldn't be covered, but and other unrelated problems would be covered

You're going to want to read alot of fine print, on the surface it would make sense that a performance upgrade for a Mustang made by Ford Racing wouldn't void the warranty. But then again, cams are a very integral part of your engine so I could also see why they wouldn't want you to mess with them. Read and read carefully.

+1 Read up on Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. The basics of it state that no single part will void your entire warranty. It will only make repairs that were caused by the aftermarket part not be covered under warranty. So if you install a non-stock cam (even a Ford Racing cam) and you bend a rod and damage the motor, the cost to repair the motor would not be covered under warranty because the damage was (most likely) caused by the non-stock cam. However, if you install a non-stock cam and a wheel bearing goes bad, the repair for the wheel bearing will be covered under warranty because the cam had nothing to do with the wheel bearing failure. Hope that helps...
