It would be better to get opinions after you do it and post pictures, rather than use the opinions of others to decide how you want to make your car look.
Personally, I like the idea, if you can keep it clean.

stealth look? I wouldnt mind it. cuz when you pop your hood in public, itll be hard to notice modded stuff. keeping potential thefts from seeing

I think flat or matte black would be cool. Especially if the entire car was like that. But I think if you were going to go show it off then you may want some sort of highlighting system to allow people to see. Maybe black lights you could switch on and off?MRT

One thing though, black absorbs the heat, so you will have a hotter running engine...

I doubt it'll make that much of a difference.

you should get the valve cover and the head and the block dipped so its clean as hell, then get your valve cover painted stock wrinkle black, and paint everything else black excluding the header, polish it very well and make sure not to touch it at all (so when you put it on it heat colors it self with out finger prints because of the oil secreted by your skin.) including your tranny so it looks as though your "stockish" motor is just floating there. very sexy.

Black would be clean, but IMO there's nothing cleaner than an. All chrome engine! With black accessories, ill try to find some pics of my old cb7's engine bay..... Chrome headers is what catches peoples first glimpse, then the chrome valve cover, with chrome aftermarket intake manifold, finished off with chrome SRI & chrome strut bar......gotta find those pics....
