If you've done the electrical portion, caps, plugs, and wires and still have the misfire, unless you have a mechanical problem I'd look at fuel.

Yes, it could be dirty fuel injectors. It could be low fuel pressure too.

You said you have headers. Do you still have the O2 sensors in place? They affect the fuel trim.

The Plug Wires have NOT been changed yet. I think I'm going to though, so I can rule them out. As far as the O2 sensors in the exhaust, they look to be intact and installed.
