Have it scanned for error codes, post the results here.

The stock LS1 ign coils are very tough, unlikely it's one of them.

The only times I've had a noticeable misfire were traced to an oily MAF sensor (got code P0101) and a worn out plug wire (got code P0200).

Start with the stored error codes.

Check the codes. Doing it when it is hot, makes me think detonation issues.
