Default Misfire and Rough Idle

So I have been trying to track down a misfire on my 1990 corvette L98. I have changed spark plugs and wires( in correct order) changed the MAP sensor, what else could it be? When i start the car it has a rough idle and when you can really feel the misfire when I am on the brakes at a stop. And it lost performance. Please help and Thanks

The question from CBMZR1 is important. Was that why you changed the plugs and wires in the first place?
