Default 1998 ls1 vette stumbling at high rpms?

Ok guys,
I just bought a 1998 corvette with 104k on her. She is a little rough, but i got it for VERY cheap. Anyways, It drives pretty good and accelerates hard until about 5k rpm's than starts stumbling a little. I was thinking either fuel injectors or spark plugs/ wires, but i could be way off. If anyone could help/ has any suggestions, i would love to hear them...

yea i would start with plugs, wires, and a fuel filter...im not sure if those are inline fuel filters like on f-bodys or if there in the tank but it could definately be a fuel delivery issue..also not very likely, but it could be valve float seeing that it only happens at higher rpms..those springs are probably pretty worn with 108K on em..but start with the basics first if that dont fix it than start looking into bigger things like that

Look at your fuel pressure too. Should be 58lbs when idleing.

fuel pressure was a little low, i cleaned the injectors and it somewhat solved the problem. i will be doing wires and plugs tomorrow.
