help diagnose missfire

ok i recently had my car dynoed at my local shop and above 4,500 RPMS it has a noticable missfire. even when i take it to the track i can feel it start to break up at higher rpms, but when i drive below 4,500 everything is fine. i have a full exhaust, cold air,a shifter, and some suspension parts and i am only running 14.1's and trapping 103. i put down 276 HP and 323 TQ. i just bought a new set of plugs and wires hoping that will fix it. i really hope like hell it isnt the opti but i was wonering if anyone else had this problem and fixed it?

i just did the plugs and wires but its worse now because i routed two plugs to close to my headers. and those numbers i mentioned are at the wheels not the flywheel
