well having done this about 2 weeks ago it is still fresh on my mind. i too had a miss at 5000 rpm. but does yours feel like one cylider not fireing on more than one at a time? but anyways i replaced my opti and cap/rotor and it fixed it. mine also didnt throw any codes and the car straight up died on the side of the road. i know that everyone always blames the problem on the opti(with good reason) but in this case i think it is. i replaced mine and it went away.
