make sure the manifold gasket is in good shape and not pinched or anything like that. (if you put it on too tight, it may crack)

Have you tried running a good fuel injector cleaner, like seafome or chemtool B-12 to clean injectors out it takes about 3 tanks for injectors cleaner to work. Water in gas will sometimes cause missing at higher rpm.

Did you check your cat? if the honeycomb broke it might be clogged.
