For the OP's question of.... not voiding the warranty of the wife's car/anniversary present... dealer intall... Just my opinion but the Hot Cam wouldn't be my first choice for that.
Does she really want a choppy race car like idle? You might find a dealer that is willing to install, but then it will need to be tuned. Now you will have an aftermarktet tune, a choppy performance cam idle... doesn't seem to match your wish list. And if someone at that dealer misinforms you that the warranty is still valid (which it is not), what happens when that person is no longer there? Someone that actually knows the warranty policies will be giving you some bad news.
If warranty is a concern, I'd start with stuff a little more warranty friendly like a CAI and catback. If you get comfortable with a little more warranty risk, some LT's...tuning.... maybe then a cam... Even then, not sure that I'd pick something that came out 12 years ago. Been lots of cylinder head and cam development since.
