Answer
A slight miss at idle? Is it a definite miss, or rough idle? The 5.8 had problems in the throttle body gasket and the plenum gasket leaking.

You might have to go as far as pulling valve covers to make sure all the valves are operating as designed. A worn cam or stuck lifter, anything that affects valve timing or opening duration. Have you put a vacuum gauge on it? Many times this can tell you more than a compression test.
