I think you answered your own question.
Track down the cause of the "miss" and your problems will be over.

find the miss I'd bet on the plug wires or firing order. I remember an 85
5.0 that came in with a slight miss and vibration under load. one of the
line mechanics pulled each wire and did and ohm test then replace all the
plugs still couldn't find the problem..after two days in the shop the
service manager walked over and pulled all the wires off the car and told
the mechanic to clean the ends and reinstall. well two of the wire didn't
fit back in the same witness marks on the wire holders it seems they were
crossed. it didn't back fire. just missed. well when the wires were properly
installed the car ran better than ever (according to the customer) it seems
the wires were crossed since new....
